Collecting social security is "Big Brother" taking care of people, and I don't see many people around here complaining about that.

I have no idea what the tax system is like in Denmark, but most people in this country making $12.00 per hour pay zero in income tax.
Social security is a closed system where only people that have paid into it receive benefits. The amount of benefits that people receive is determined by how much they put in. It's very different than having everyone receiving the same benefits while some people have paid nothing.
And I don't know many people who think that social security pays for everything in their life.
Please don't compare social security to widespread socialism.
