***However, In spite of John McCain's yearly salary as a U.S. Senator of
$169,300, and a reported total income in 2007 of $405,409, public
records show that McCain, in fact, personally draws from Social
Security. Although McCain and his wife keep separate finances, Cindy
McCain, an heiress and direct benefactor of a family beer fortune,
maintains an expansive largesse estimated at potentially $100
million.***

Incongruently, and in complete conflict with his public views and
withering remarks, John McCain received, according to public records,
$23,157 in Social Security benefits in 2007 - a welfare benefit that
They told me they'd cut back my $877/mo SS check if I earned over 12,500
a year. Why doesn't this hit the rich, Harry?


McCain is so old, he can earn whatever he likes and collect. After a
certain age, you can earn whatever you can and not lose benefits.


70. And if you do not collect until 70, you get more for each year you did
not collect.


What does the fact that someone thinks the system is a disgrace have to
do with using a system. The department for unemployment in
Indianapolis, Indiana is also a disgrace, telephone access is
impossible, and they will not respond to e-mails, taking weeks to
respond to simple problems, BUT you some times you have to use.
