sorry, but that's a silly answer: - Social Security is collected on what I paid into the system while I was living/working in the US. Not a part of this - Vot

- Voting is a right - nothing to do with taxes
- My "consular services"? My passport renewed? I cost me $100 or something like that to get my passport renewed, and most of us never go anywhere near our "consular services" - I'm not even sure what they offer, except to business people over here via the Amer. Chamber of Commerce (which they pay an arm & a leg to join)
- mikeash 11y agoJust because voting is a right doesn't mean it just happens by magic. Elections are expensive and that money doesn't come from trees.

Your Social Security benefits are proportional to what you put in (usually), but you will receive more money than you put in and more money than you money earned over that time period, assuming a normal life expectancy. The trope that you only get what you put in with SS and Medicare is false.
