“Divert? Where I come from, they call it stealing”… Seniors Speak Out About Rubio Social Security Plan

Senior Citizens continue to make their voices heard about Senator Marco Rubio’s plan to divert money from the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for parental leave for young families.

Some of the recent messages to The Seniors Center about the Rubio plan:

“Social Security should be in a lock box that can only be used as retirement payments for those who paid into the program. Seniors had Social Security withdrawn from their pay checks all their career and it should only be used to help those retirees.” -Joann W. Gridley, CA

“It’s our Social Security. It was not paid for by someone who needs parental leave from their job. Leave our Social Security funds alone. And pay back what you borrowed year ago. It’s money that belongs to those who paid into the fund.” -Jill J. Happy Valley, OR

“As long as it’s not coming out of their pocket, people like him do not care how they keep dipping into the Social Security pot! Our money! Which is downright stealing! How about them dipping into the politicians’ retirement to fund their crazy projects!!! They do not pay anything into that, but we have paid into Social Security all of our working lives!!!! They keep stealing our money!!!!!” -Mary B.

“Not a great of idea. Why do these members of Congress that have not contributed to Social Security feel that they can use these funds for anything other than paying back to those that contributed to the fund as it was originally set up many years ago… Now Rubio thinks it is okay to empty the funds for miscellaneous reasons. No way is it okay!” -Danette B.

“They can find money in other ways, they don’t have to use our money, & they are not supposed to use our money, it is ours, we paid into to supplement our retirement, not the government’s to use. Every retired person on Social Security should be up in arms over this, outrageous. And why do all those Senators & Congressmen use our money, why are they not Chipping in when they need something.?? They make a lot more than we do, & have free health insurance, & all kinds of perks we Don’t. Makes me so mad that they sit with their fat wallets, using our money for their wealth!! Vote them out, we have had enough!!” Sally W.

“They should just stop touching our Social Security funds period! No one should take advantage of it except the contributors!” -Anjr P.

“Social Security money came from people planning on using it to retire. Not for family leave! Pay back what has been taken out with interest and then we’ll discuss it!” -Barbara S. Marquez, TX

“ This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Family leave used to be a benefit supplied by the companies you worked for. Now Congress wants to take money away from the elderly? Why not take it from someone that can afford it, the company, the employer.” -Joann A.

“You already have my Social Security as my husband passed 7 years ago. I should get his and mine. He died on the last day of the month and they took his Social Security back out of our account. They didn’t even send a notification.” -Elizabeth W. Clear Lake, IA

“No one should be able to take money out of Social Security. We paid into it. The money is meant for “seniors” just wait till you all get old.” -Barbara M. Butler, NJ

“None of these funds were ever intended to be used as a cash cow for issues such as this. They want to have kids, take care of a spouse, find a way to pay for it… not rob Social Security, Medicare, or any other currently dedicated funding. So, no leave it alone!!” -Garret Anglin

“Everything wants to get a hand out from Social Security, so why not give the seniors who worked for it a raise? I say give us a raise of our own money.” -Geanette P. Cordova, TN

“We are not allowed to withdraw funds from private retirement accounts without penalties and taxes levied by the government—so why can the government withdraw funds from our national retirement fund with no repercussion, without even having to repay it? There is no logic here.” -Dawn W.

“Social Security is only allowed to be used by the people who paid into it… it is not a government fund…” -Christina R.

“How can they do this? It’s not their money to give out. It’s the people’s money. We have contributed to this all our lives for our retirement. So many of the elderly will have to live in the streets? Starve…” -Rhonda B.

“No. We’ve been ripped off enough already! A slush fund to pay for sexual predators defense in Congress?! We want our money back! Let them pay for their own defense!” -Laura S.

“ NO! NO and NO!!! Social Security was set up for retirement not some family leave thing. Want to take off on paternity or maternity leave and have it paid for, save up your vacation and/or sick time to take care of it. Keep your hands off MY money! Just because it’s there doesn’t mean that you can help yourself to it any time some bozo gets some half baked idea.” -Cheri H.

“No, this is not right. Seniors are already suffering. Can’t find work to supplement Social Security.” Carolyn W.

“What do the people in government think that our Social Security is a bank account? God’s looking down on these people and take care of them.” -Elizabeth T.

“No! Keep your hands off of the Social Security money, and make Congress pay back all of the money they have taken so far!” -Jeffrey F. Torrance, CA

“Once you deposit MY money from my Social Security account into my bank account, then do whatever the hell you old white men want to do except touching Medicare.” -Candace E. Santa Fe, NM

“It wouldn’t hurt to give us our money we could use for a living. The money I am getting wouldn’t let anyone have a life of any kind.” -Bill T Amarillo, TX

“They need to leave our Social Security alone. It’s not theirs to give away. Keep your hands off our money.” -Maxx G.

“And they wonder what’s causing Social Security to not have enough money. That’s our money we paid into our whole lives.” -Ann C

“That is OUR money, NOT yours. Keep you hands off of it. You and your kind have already helped yourselves to a great part of it. That’s not borrowing, it’s theft.” -Nancy H.

“Not even in the slightest. Given the history the government has of not paying money it “borrows” from SOCIAL SECURITY I strongly expect if this money is “Borrowed” from yet again we will never see it again.
As I recall, our government still never paid back money it “borrowed” from SOCIAL SECURITY during the GWB administration period. (01-09)” -Ed P.

“Bad idea. Those young families have not necessarily paid into the system as much as seniors who have worked their entire lives and raised their families without receiving subsidies from Social Security. Is it fair that members of Congress can get involved in sex crimes and tax payer dollars being used to pay off the accusers of those crimes?”   -Jerry P. Chipley, FL

“It’s not their money. We need to put it back in the trust fund where they can touch it.” -Margaret D.

“Take it out of his salary, retirement & any other money he has!!! We didn’t have family leave when our families were being born!!” -Sharron K.

“Becoming parents is a CHOICE! Growing old is not!!!  Most seniors do not have the option to make up shortfalls in income!” -Bettina A.

“No! We have given up enough of our Social Security to Congress! Leave our money alone use some of Congress salaries!” -Carol O.

“Absolutely not Rubio and all senators. We paid for our own kids and paid into Social Security for our retirement. Now you want to steal more from what we paid in? Any member of congress who even mentions stealing more from Social Security deserves to be removed from government, forever.” -Lynne S. Orland Park, IL

“No, I have a better idea, use Congress’ retirement and cut their salaries.” -Gloria M. Church Point, LA

“Social Security needs to be put back into a private fund & used only for those that put into it.” -Les P.

“Why is it everybody but the people that paid in get to use the money that is in the Social Security fund?” -Michael R. Beaverton, MO

“No not your money to spend not the government’s to spend either. Let’s dip into your retirement funds.” -Rita H.

“You have stolen from Social Security enough with all your entitlement programs. Enough! How about a class action lawsuit against all of you who have stolen from Social Security?” -Linda H.

“The most selfish thing I have ever heard of for so many reasons! Young families can do the same thing we did, quit your job while you recover from child birth, or take vacation and sick leave and go back when it is time. As for fathers, they need to go back to work after one week, at the most!! We got nothing when we were young and you should not steal our savings to make this happen!” -Joyce M. Beaufort, SC

“No. It is almost like an instant refund of Social Security paid in. It doesn’t account for the years our citizens invested. It would ultimately increase the amounts paid to Social Security and that’s just more money for politicians to steal. He is a snake.” -Justin C.

“No – take your hands off of our money – we earned it and it is intended for our retirement, our and medical needs!” Bonnie S.

“No! They did not earn it, don’t deserve it. We’ve busted our butts to put the money in for us.” -Susie R.

“They have been robbing Social Security since it began then they complain it’s going out of money.” -Jacqueline B.

“Hell no it’s not a good idea. Better get that money from somewhere else. Maybe some of the ‘pork’ your senators are collecting!! Shame on you Rubio!!!! I know you’ve lost your mind now!!” -Pat W.

“They have every right to be mad. This lamebrain idea will cause the Social Security to dry up even more quickly. Republicans are doing all they can to destroy the program that was enacted as a safety net for seniors.” -Phil H.

“Not right. Every time they decide to take something one more time, erodes our paid Social Security fund that WE paid for. We had no choice. They held it out of our wages. Put it back and stop robbing it. We are older but not stupid.” -Sherry G.

“Lock box, only for those who paid into it, it’s been nothing but politicians’ private slush fund the last 30+ years, both parties, but you know who started stealing from it first?…” -John H. Staunton, IL

“This money is not theirs to decide what to do with it as we all pay into Social Security from our first paycheck to our last. Never before have we been subjected to so many law makers want to get into our money and spend it as they please.” -Adele W.

“Corporations recently got a big tax break. A good way for them to pass those savings on to their employees would be to fund family leave themselves and leave the government out of paying for the program.” Chris B. East Helena, MT

“No! If anything, the Social Security max needs to be raised as well as Medicare because there are a lot of people who are not paying on large percentage of their wages. The tax cut for wealthy needs to be reversed because the trickle down is not working anyway as usual!” -Nancy P. Omaha, NE

“The money belongs to Social Security. They need to put the funds back into it. This is a ploy to get away with the corruption that took out the funds in the first place.” -Jimmy B.

“Tell Rubio not to take any money from Social Security for anything and they need to put back those millions of dollars they already took.” -Linda M. New York, NY

“The US is an extremely rich country. We should be able to both. We don’t because we allow ourselves to be pitted against each other, instead of going after much bigger offenders like corporate welfare and businesses/wealthy people that end up paying no taxes and being subsidized by ours.” Anne P.

“Nope, I am sick of paying school taxes, I have no children and recently retired, why would I subsidize family leave? No common sense at all!!!!” -Chazz T.

“There’s no money to do this. Next year there will be less paid into Social Security than benefits paid out. Congress finally broke it. Time to expand the Social Security wage cap to bring in more money. Congress needs to increase taxes to pay for maturing treasury bonds.” – Linda M. Arab, AL

“Even voting red will be hard with him. Rock and a hard place. Have to hold him down when he is in office. Vote NO to anything he wants to do with our Social Security.” -Jean R.

“Our government has been corrupt for longer than I can remember – we are just now coming to realize the extent of government corruption – Social Security funds have been (to use your words) diverted for decades – this is nothing new – the corruption will continue until we unite and form a senior citizen lobby group to confront Washington Establishment.” -Ernest P.

“This is not money to be used anywhere but on retires. We worked and earned this money. It was taken from us to pay those before us etc. Then pay taxes on it at tax times! At least 4 times these $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ have been taken to use for whatever! This is not your money except to those who retire. Vote Rubio and all who keep pushing for this out!” -Katherine E.

“If any of the other senators don’t start standing up for seniors vote them out too! doesn’t anyone in congress have any brains or guts?” -Karen D. Otem, UT

“It’s already going broke!!! Social Security was paid for by Americans, leave it alone to go back to those Americans!!!”- Chuck G.

“No! Social Security is our retirement fund, not Workman’s Comp, Planned Parenthood, or an employee benefit package!” -Debby L.
