My parents gave to me willingly, as I will do for them if or when the time comes. Currently, my husband and I take care of his mother who is too old to take care of herself. She accepts no taxpayer dollars. None.

Social Security is NOT welfare. I am 4 years away from being eligible and what I would get is actually pocket change but you can bet the farm I am going to collect it because for 30 years I was forced to pay the maximum amount into it. However, the best part is it pisses off drones like you and the Hanky.

It figures. You're sidling up to the government tit. Just remember, old man, that the rest of us aren't exactly going to throw you a party for bleeding us for the next 30 years.

Oh please. It's money coming from people who work going to people who don't. It's a simple tranfer of dollars from those with ability to those with needs. It's welfare, plain and simple.

Such hip lingo for a dude but four years shy of skimming off our checks to make his point in pocket-change!

Probably all the Sir Gawain threads what have kept you so young at ... young at ... well, youthful sounding.

Social security is a compulsory pyramid scheme.
