The elderly are socialistic because they are informed by the AARP (which is socialistic). Most people on SS believe they are taking out that which they put in, never realizing that after a few years they end up taking out much more than they contributed.

As for turning down the money. Even if someone tried to "prove" that I don't need it, I want it the same as the next person. I believe if you commit to any program and allow people to base their plans on it, then a contract has been created. That is why I agree with the concept that change should be Phased in at the level of the newly employeed. Private accounts are such a program. Means testing and changing the age of collection are not.

I would....., and did. When I was in grad school I made under $11,000 one year. Two kids. It was what you would call "tight." I checked off the taxes (zero owed) and sent in my return. I got a check back saying that I qualified for some crap b/c I had kids. I called the IRS and told them it was IMMORAL to steal from other people when I was able bodied and able to work. I know the receptionist thought I was some nut. She did say if I sent it back they would just send it back again. She said to just destroy it if I was philosophically opposed to the idea, and that it would go back in to the treasury after 3 years.

What else are old people (as a group) good for? Individually, they are wonderful storytellers, grandparents and Wal-Mart door greeters.

But honestly, if they aren't working, they aren't producing, they've become pure leeches. Leeches are perfect lil Socialist Slaves.
