To be fair, I think the main point was simply that if you had to choose, it’s absurd that well-off people get the benefits of something that’s supposed to be for supporting those in need in their twilight years.

Thank you for your reasonable reply.

However, I would say that it is equally absurd that anyone should be forced to pay into a system, and then be disbarred from enjoying its benefits, merely because they have been thrifty throughout their lives.

Only charity should be means-tested.

I’d be happy to eliminate all this welfare nonsense. Get rid of all the FDR programs and everything that followed.

My answer didn’t mean I approve of any of this principle.
