it's your own money you are getting back that the government took from you in trust.
Although...your benefits ARE cut if you earn income from something else, so maybe it's not so different to say that you don't get them at all, if you have assets.
But I don't know....I don't like the idea of not getting your own money back that the govt took on a promise to pay you back in your retirement years. It's not a gift or entitlement program - at least not that part of it.
