The existing Social Security Trust Fund as been systematically robbed by greedy politicians and is destined to becoming insolvent at some point in the future. It is time for the Trust Fund to be renamed The Earned Retirement Income for the Working People of the United States of America and to be restored by replacing the funds that have been stolen including lost interest. The trust fund has been funded by a 7.5% tax from paychecks plus a 7.5% tax paid by each worker's employer for the purpose of providing a retirement income of sorts for the working people of the United States. The Social Security check that is to be paid to workers when they reach a certain age is not an entitlement. It is earned by each and every working individual that paid into the system over their working life.
