Social security is not welfare. You pay it with ever check you take home. It’s not the government’s dole.

Not exactly. Already the benefits formula skews toward not being directly proportional to the amount of taxes paid in. It very much is a welfare program. I’m glad it’s there, but as a retirement program it sucks. As a welfare program to keep the elderly out of poverty, it’s great.
