Reply #10: Since when is SS and entitlement program?

[fasttense]

I pay my freaking SS. So why is SS now considered an entitlement programs? What happened to all the money they took out of my pay check for the last twenty-five years?

I bet if I had invested that money, and taken the profits, no one would be calling it an entitlement program. If I had bought an insurance policy, and applied for the insurance, no one would be calling it an entitlement program. But because the government now decides it doesn't want to pay me back, all of a sudden, it has become an entitlement program. Bunch of lying, cheating scoundrels want to use the money I paid in to line their fat bulging, repuke pockets.

I want my money back. Just give me what I put in, plus all the interest you kept, and I'll call it even. The government sure as hell is not entitled to my money.
