...the fiction that Social Security is something other then Welfare.

Says who? You?

[drbuzzard]

>Says who? You?

No, this inconvenient thing called ‘the facts’.

Does Social Security give money to people that didn’t contribute? -Yes
Does Social Security give money to people not in direct proportion to the ‘contributions? -Yes
Does Social Security transfer wealth from one group of taxpayers to another group of recipients? -Yes
Does Social Security favor those who don’t provide for themselves or plan ahead? -Yes

Are any of those not in keeping with Welfare?
