BTW Social Security IS welfare....
Some Social Security payments are for people with disabilities.
Some Social Security payments are for dependent children who lost a parent, a parent who probably paid into the Social Security system and will not be collecting their payments themselves, as they are deceased.
Most Social Security is paid to retired people who paid into the system for 40 years and are getting back their own money with 3% interest. The worst possible rate of return anyone could have made over the past 40 years.
Saying Soc Sec is welfare, is like accusing someone who goes to the doctor of accepting government handouts, because some of the doctor's other patients are covered under Medicaid.
