Yeah, my dad paid taxes. That's sort of the point - you pay in and then get out different things depending on what you need.
Actually, because I'm blind, that will probably pay for at least part of my college, if not all and my medical when I went blind - hospital stay, rehab, meds, etc, were all paid for by the company that hit me. I should also have something in an account waiting for me when I turn 18, I just don't know how much. They gave us a settlement though, I remember it being a lot of money at the time and I don't think I've used any of it because I can't access it. My dad might've used some, IDK.
As for foster care, there's a lot of problems with that system in general, but that doesn't mean they owe me. See, this is the problem - I don't think anyone owes me anything. I made my choices, which were influenced by those around me and their choices were made due to their circumstances, etc etc. Playing the blame game gets me nowhere.
If I want to succeed, I work hard, study and do well in school and all that. I don't need millions.
