>Yes, you are correct and some in here claim that it is an entitlement.
If you think that Social Security is not an entitlement, then you have no idea of the definition of entitlement.
Can you tell me how much money welfare recipients have paid into that system?
Free school lunches??
WIC??
Section 8 housing??
Food stamps?
I have paid into Soc Sec since 1955. I didn’t have a choice. I was forced to do such. My employers were forced to match those ‘donations’. Since I was self-employed for over 30 years, I paid the ENTIRE amount myself!! Tell me again that this is an ‘entitlement!!!
Was I supposed to die early so I could only be a person who paid into the system & never got the withdrawal???
What have YOU paid into the Soc Sec system in your years here in the USA?
