Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I am not sure if I just don\u2019t understand how the system works or what but I have been working and paying my dues since I was actually 20 now I\u2019m a grown woman.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

I heard people spoke about not receiving their social security money until months after their claim.<\/div>\n

\n

Is going on a year since I\u2019ve been sick and sent in a claims form and all now nothing has been paid out to me and it\u2019s ridiculous at this point.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We the people need to know where our money is going because this is crazy I tell you.<\/p>\n

I cannot and when I say cannot tell my work place not one time not to take out Social or Medical this week because I have things to do or can I and I just don\u2019t know?.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

You will call the office a million times only to hear it will be ready soon, well give us the option whether or not we want to pay Social Security then we won\u2019t expect anything because we know that we didn\u2019t contribute to the board cause clearly you guys have the option of paying people when yall feel like.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Come on, what do we need to do to get justice around here? Do we have to act in rage in order to get what\u2019s rightfully ours?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Do we need to keep bashing the Government?.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It\u2019s is sickening and over bearing PAY PEOPLE WAH ARE U HAB FOR THEM!!! Or just tell are we that are we money a use for subbin else and di account dry.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
All these citizens paying Social Security weekly, bi-weekly and monthly and still can\u2019t get a dollar mercy man.FIX UM JACK!!!!<\/div>\n
