“destitution should not follow unemployment on account of old age.”

Exactly. Social security is a welfare program for the elderly who can't provide for themselves. It's not a retirement plan. That's why it should be means tested like any other welfare program.

Social Security should be means tested, as long as the government returns every dime it took with the promise of “security.” They shouldn’t just be able to keep what they didn’t earn.
