If you averaged 60K per year salary over your lifetime, approximately $349,680 would have been contributed in your name to Social Security. Just at a 5% interest rate that money would be worth $1.44 million at retirement. Annual interest income from that amount is $72k, or $6000 per month.
The government promises you a payout of $2700 a month, which is $32,400 per year. Social Security is theft.
