USA Social Security sent me a letter the other day and said that if I
wait until I am 67 to start taking SS, they will give me $4,000/month.
That is an amazing number.  I am wondering that they are going to send a
hit man instead, much cheaper.

 Talk to congress,  they've had plenty of warnings and decades to
alleviate the problem, but the fucking unelected grover norquist
has screwed us all.
 Corporations, who benefit from stable employees, should be
contributing to SS.    They should (as per Warren Buffet)
be paying their fair share, rather than leaching off the
American public.

Um, I send quite a bit of money to the IRS for each paycheck (actually I tell them how much and they grab it from the corporate checking account) for my main business, a corporation, twice per month.  So I do not understand your complaint about corporations not contributing to SS.  It is not an optional tax, nor is it based on your profitability.
BTW, if your corporation does not pay the SS/Medicare tax then that tax follows the officers of the company personally.  Many people have found this out to their dismay.
