Please DUers, lets not become unhinged, and let these ignorant posts go unrebutted.

Its really important to the legal foundation of the Social Security law that it is an insurance program, you pay your insurance premiums and you get coverage.

You might think- like that other OP says, its benefits....

Oh really, like Welfare benefits? We all know how the GOP loves demonizes welfare queens. Dont let this GOP attempt to redefine what the very legal foundation for Social Security is.

The other OPs are either misguided or from GOP sockpuppets. They should be deleted, or locked.

The word entitled is in the original SS law 9 times, read it and Weep conservatives.
