More Obamacare fuckups

Dude, Ayn Rand collected Social Security.

Learn about what you think you know about anything. Please. For yourself.

I never said she didn't receive Social Security.

Trust me, in this, I am VERY well learned.

[Thondalar]

Wrong? Most certainly not. A benefit? Most certainly.

ok, so...what was the benefit to her?

If I take away $50,000 from you, wait 30 years, and give you back $14,000 of it....exactly how did you benefit?

[Back]

Exactly what was the benefit of her receiving back a very small portion of the money taken from her in the first place?

Really? Oh, a check every week to pay for perhaps food, medicine, living quarters... I dunno... bubble gun she could not afford in her old age?

[Thondalar]

You are assuming she received a small portion. She also had cancer and was on medicare.

Prove it?

Where did you get those numbers?

Her estate was worth well over a million dollars when she died...

You really should take your own advice sometimes.

$30,000 pays for more than just bubble gum.

1.2 million. I don't think any millionaire would consider 30 grand not a benefit.

So why did she cash those SS checks?

"Federal records obtained through a Freedom of Information act request confirm the Social Security benefits. A similar FOI request was unable to either prove or disprove the Medicare claim.

Between December 1974 and her death in March 1982, Rand collected a total of $11,002 in monthly Social Security payments. O’Connor received $2,943 between December 1974 and his death in November 1979."

Her estate was worth about 1.2 million. In modern money, that 13 grand is about 30,000. In short? A benefit.
