But as I said...my wife's family collected for SIXTEEN years on her and her older brother for 13 years and her younger brother for 17 years...all off of her mom who had only worked maybe a year in her short young life.

And THAT is what happens all the time in our society.

Just bringing up Paul Ryan because he's the "boogeyman" doesn't make it right. I don't give a fuck WHO gets money from Social Security in that manner...it's a HANDOUT when they do that.

I'm just pointing out that Social Security was SUPPOSED to be YOUR money given back to you. But it isn't. And if the Dems have their way by making it "means tested" and then getting rid of the ceiling on paying Social Security tax so that rich people just outright pay for poor people...then it will become straight up WELFARE.

There's just no other name for that.
