Drew $23,157 in Social Security Benefits!

Since Democrats tell us, year in and year out, that what we're forced to pay into S.S., literally at gunpoint, is in fact "An Investment", and since true investments are entered into for the primary purpose of getting a return on said investment, isn't it just sort of massively hypocritical to suggest there's something wrong with McCain taking the return he's been promised all his life?

McCain Morally Bankrupt!

McCain and his wife report their taxes separately. Cindy's reported total income for 2006 was more than $6 million.

McCain's separate income for 2007 was $405,409. While Social Security staggers under the weight of strain and drain, McCain cashed in on a "broken" system, drawing $23,157 in social security benefits in 2007.

McCain ? morally bankrupt in a lifestyle so luxuriously self-indulgent during a time of recession.

This is indicative of his fundamental moral character, how can he offer change?

Rosemary,

Social Security started in 1935 with at 3% of the first $3,000 of income. Now in 2008 we are at 6.2% of $102,000 income. So basically, 80% of Americans are already paying this tax on their entire gross income.

Now, undoubtedly Bill Gates and the super rich could afford a few extra percent to the federal government each year. But if you look at the average income for these top 20% of taxpayers (who bear 70% of the total tax burden), roughly 95% of them make between $100,000 and $200,000 in household income.

By my reckoning, removing the cap affects more middle and upper middle class taxpayers than the rich. That's assuming that even removing the cap alone will fix what seems to be a more fundamentally flawed system.

I think McCains comment about the young paying taxes today and those being paid out through the Social Security benefits are actually correct.
He is going on the basic principal of the system itself.
It was originally designed so that a person pays into an account all their lives so when it came time to be qualified for those funds they paid out what you had invested over a period of time with basic interest.
Almost exactly like an IRA would do.

I find it amusing how instead of commenting on the fact HE has a plan to fix the system you criticizes him on your misunderstanding of his statement.

John McCain does not have the majority of Americans best interest at heart. He will approve anything that personally suits him and not for the 95% of others out there that don't have 7 houses, or even one at this matter. People are only psyched about him at the moment because he had a boost of interest by recruiting Sarah Palin. But how long will that last???

I am currently one of the "disabled" americans that live on social security because I am unable to work anymore. What exaclt does he expect us to do?

What's a disgrace is the fact that he does not think of us "little" people and he is using Sarah palin to try to reach us. Well they do NOT have my vote. I am voting for the man who has our best interest at heart and is nor a fraud!!!!

McCain has been in the congress for 25 years and yet he seems to lack basic understanding in so many areas. This Palin pick is the corker- Is he totally a fool?

I took a look at the birth records from 1938 to 1998 for another project and suddenly realized I could not see any "boom" over the years. I also connected the dot about birth control and when that happened. As far as I can see there is no baby boom and since birth control, births have been, uh...controlled.

The real problem is that money into the Social Security account was so huge and tempting that anyone who could find a reason to take it out has done so, leaving a pile of I.O.U.s.

A rumor was floated that Bush took out a trillion dollars not long after he took office.

I live at half the poverty level on my benefits. What does the poverty level mean? It can be determined what standard of living is required to renew life every day and move forward. Under the poverty level, life begins slipping away and illness in whatever form begins.

Okay, I'll say it. The theft of Social Security money; oh, I mean the borrowing of Social Security money leaves the system to administer reality: genocide in America.

Some Senators thought it a lark to live on maximum food stamps for a week: three dollars a day. My state flipped off the government and gives me two dollars a day and I've been living on that for 10 years.

Ahhh, yes, the end is in sight.

Social Security is not just for retirees. It also helps many disabled persons, persons that have a physical or mental disability that prevent them from working. Neither Bush nor McCain address how this vital part of Social Security will be funded with their rather facile proposal that privatization is the answer for their claims that the Social Security program is in trouble.

John McCain:

What about the money all of the senior citizens have paid into Social Security???
What about all of the members of the family that died before they could use the Social Security they paid into? Do we have to go to Irag to find that money? John McCain, you have lost the senior citizen vote. You are trying to get the young people, but there are more of the older folks now. Get Lost John McCain. This is written here in Phoenix, Arizona, the City with the worst bus system in the United States. Shame on you John McCain. Get lost again!
Pay back the money the government has taken from Social Security and we will be good forever! Get lost again John McCain. Just get lost!
