As was yours comparing me with BO’s wife

I don't think so...you are promoting wealth redistribution, something that the Obamas support. It's liberal class warfare, plain and simple. I call 'em as I see 'em and if you really feel that way about means testing for SS, you are on the wrong website and should expect responses such as mine.

Social Security IS wealth redistribution (or more accurately, income redistribution) already.

Money is seized from someone who earned it via FICA tax, and is then given directly to someone who else who didn’t earn it via a Social Security check.

How is that not income redistribution? Of course it is. It’s redistributed from working people to retired and disabled people.

I don’t favor means testing, but it’s dishonest to pretend that SS in it’s current form is ANYTHING other than a straight income redistribution scheme.
