Didn’t you pay in to Social Security and Medicare? That’s not true of TANF, SNAP, farm subsidies and the rest, at least not directly.

I would remind all those here, FICA (social security) goes by the real name of “Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax”
Clearly, even in it’s name is the word “insurance”. It was designed and sold to the citizens an insurance... Why would anyone think one did not have a “right” to collect on your “insurance”?
It’s true that the politicians stole all the money, but that doesn’t mean it’s not owed.
Ida Mae Fuller "paid in" $22 during her working career; in retirement, she collected $22,000.
