"The vast bulk of all the money paid to individuals will, in fact, go to the middle class, and even the upper middle class, largely through Social Security and Medicare — programs for which even the richest Americans receive benefits. Almost 12 percent of retirees collecting Social Security checks have incomes $100,000 and over, according to the Social Security Administration. A 2011 report by then-Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., found that millionaires were collecting $9 billion in retirement checks from the federal government." So what USA today is complaining about is the middleclass and upper class getting any benefits they paid into for years and years! No doubt they would like to stop benefits according to income....that's BS! another scheme to redistribute wealth!
