Please don’t call them entitlements. Entitlements are things that people expect as handouts. My wife and I paid into the system for our entire working lives and are not entitled to SS or Medicare, we are OWED it. If they never took all that $$$ out of out earnings then they would not be important to us because we would have invested it wisely and would not need it.
