Social Security is an earned benefit.
The prescription drug benefit for seniors is welfare.
“Social Security is an earned benefit.”
Can we at least compromise on: “Social Security is an earned WELFARE benefit”?
Most of us paid into SS expecting that it was a portion of our eventual retirement income and a tax supporting others less fortunate, but to change the rules of the game on many seniors who were the backbone maximum contributors to SS is absolutely wrong. If SS was means tested..how do you decide who needs it?
We need to change the system for those that are younger so that Congress cannot steal their money like they have done to the rest of us.

I pay Social Security and Medicare taxes both of which are transferred to those people on those programs. Those dollars are then given in return for mowed lawns, dinners at Olive Garden or hip replacements. There is no bank vault of mowed lawns, dinners and Olive Garden and hip replacements.
