Can we all agree that the government should not be subsidizing anyone?
SS should be an annuity, that you collect when you get to retirement age.. if you die before that.. the money goes to your estate. If you get more in SS than you paid in (plus interest earned), the government took it from someone else to give it to you.
Welfare is reserved for those that CANNOT (not WILL NOT) support themselves... and if you can afford cable tv or a cell phone, you are NOT in poverty.

You see if you live in a city their checks are handouts but if you live on a 300 acre estate it's a subsidy.
