"Republicans going to refund all the money workers paid into “govt. handouts” like social security and medicare all their working lives? Didn’t think so. The politicians will consider all the money paid into those programs by workers as belonging to the politicians."

No one paid into a "gov't handout", we (and you) pay in to a "fund" alleged and purported to be a quasi retirement "fund".

It was Lyndon Johnson who "took it out of that fund" and called it "general fund" thus making it available for politicians to use as they wish for the "operation of the country"

Because of THAT, our SS checks come from the money collected from your last week's paycheck.

No work, no workers, no workers, no SS funds, no SS funds, a ton of pissed off, armed old geezers whom are one foot in the grave don't give a shit ready to do damage and really not too particular whom they direct that damage to except it will be "gov't"

Social Security was ruled by the Supreme Court to be nothing more than a social insurance scheme in 1960.

See the SCOTUS case “Flemming v. Nestor.”

There is no property right in Social Security.
