They aren’t welfare checks.

They are.

Familiarize yourself with the Supreme Court's ruling in Flemming v Nestor:

"The Social Security system may be accurately described as a form of social insurance, enacted pursuant to Congress' power to "spend money in aid of the general welfare,'""

I see youbare still in favor of the government confiscating money.

I see you're in favor of constructing strawmen.

I'm not in favor of it at all. I think it should be abolished entirely. I'm among the generations that will be robbed to funnel money to the richest cohorts in society via FDR's insidious payroll tax.

“”The Social Security system may be accurately described as a form of social insurance ...”

Social insurance funded be withholding. Not welfare.

But keep referencing a single case of a deported communist.

“I’m among the generations that will be robbed to funnel money to the richest cohorts in society via FDR’s insidious payroll tax.”

You toally ignore the fact that lower income earners get an above market return on their withholding and pay no tax on their benefits while higher income earners get below market returns on their non-deductible witholding and taxed on their benefits.
