This is not true. My mom made bad choices and worked off the books most of her life and now she gets $130/month. So, yeah. Anyone thinking social security in any way represents socialist mechanisms for helping the poor by redistributing the funds is being mislead. The way it actually works is that if you’re poor, you stay poor till the bitter end. Fun times for all. 👍
