He has to pay social security taxes, but those payments will not increase his SS benefits in any way. In what world is that even close to being fair?

That's where the next lie kicks in, that the social security program is a "societal benefit," "corporately." You're paying for past social security contributors so that they can make a living. If you're working you can, in part, be considered a member of "the rich." They'll say it's "unfair" to "double dip" in both the system and a gainful job at the same time. They'll tell him to count his blessings, that he gets to keep getting his benefits without the FBI raiding his home.

Yes! The mentality is: "How dare you be gainfully employed while accepting 'govt. alms!'"
