Then don’t call it ‘Social Security’ anymore, call it what it really is, ‘welfare.’
How about we just end the flippin' thing and give me ALL MY MONEY BACK. Lowlife flippin' thieves. If the bass turds came through the front door to steal the fruit of my labor, I'd put a .44 caliber through their forehead. Why should this act of theft be any different?
It HAS been welfare for at least 40 years. SS disability, survivors benefits etc.
And, both of those "features" will have to be jettisoned as well...whether turned entirely over to the states or separately funded and accounted for in the federal budget.
While we're at it, we should eliminate farm subsidies and stridently "scrutinize" all ag imports. Eliminate all bailouts for governments and businesses too. All of them.

EXACTLY! Well put! A bad idea from its inception has turned into the greatest welfare program in the country (add Medicare to that, too) because so much more has been added to the program than ensuring actual seniors, 62 and up, to get a relatively small monthly stipend in old age after years of work and forced contributions.
MANY many people simply cannot work much beyond sixty and in recent years, those who WANTED to could not find any jobs at all in many locales around this country anyway. Shall they be punished at, say, age 62, if they are infirm or NO ONE WILL OFFER THEM A JOB no matter how qualified they may be?
