Don't take half measure then,means test bank accounts and 401(k) plans, also. After all, it just not right that a wealthy person should have a lot of money in the bank while the poor cannot afford a 52 inch television.
You seem to be mistaking a tax funded redistribution to you for property. Congress decides how much is paid to you and when. You can’t leave the payout to your children. It’s not your property. Social Security is taxpayer funded welfare with nice words around it. Previous generations got a massive rate of return on the taxes they paid for it. Future generations go negative massively to pay for our generations welfare. It’s a ponzi scheme that would be illegal if done by a private citizen and it would have collapsed long ago because new suckers couldn’t be found.
