“It is only right that people who have worked a full career are afforded the dignity of a passable income in old age.”

Typical redistributionist BS.

You are owed only what is earned. Nothing more.

Exactly, especially since a 'full career' is only 10 quarters or 2 1/2 years, which is all you need to work to get the minimum payout.

That might have made sense when this started back in 1930-something, to avoid having to wait a generation for the benefits to kick in, but not now.
