Why should a young minimum wage worker pay money that will go in to checks for a retired millionaire? That's what people do in a nation.....help each other out.......even when its a minimum wage employee helping a retired millionaire. The retired millionaire (to be specific lets say someone who is a multimillionaire in terms of accumulated wealth and has an income from investments of at least several hundred thousand a year), doesn't need financial help from a minimum wage worker. Its rob from the poor to give to the rich. Its not helping out generously, its taking wealth by force, with (for this example) just about no legitimate justification. It doesn't even fit in with liberal ideology (and certainly not with conservative or libertarian ideology). On this thread social security in its current form has been defended as something that keeps old people from having to dig in dumpsters "behind the Piggly Wiggly" and its been called "a minimal guarantee so retirees don't have to subsist on dog food." Such arguments are possible justifications for a welfare program. Welfare programs shouldn't take from the poor to give to the wealthy. Tim
