Most of us have paid into our social security and medicare accounts all of our working lives.
And now that we are getting our share back.....along with a whole bunch who have paid zero into the program.....some insist it is a socialist program......MAYBE for those who did not pay in. For the rest of us who did....we are making a withdrawal.
Nice try.....(AGAIN!)

The money that we paid into social security paid for the people went to people that were collecting at the time. If they stopped the programs now, which they aren't going to do, we would get paid until the money collected, and not distributed was paid out.
Here is the short answer why it is a socialist program.
