re: Do you think someone who wins a $10 million lottery when he is 30 and ends up broke when he is 65 deserves social security benefits?

Now that is an everyday example.

re: In other words, are people who take care of themselves responsible for people who had the opportunity but didn't take care of themselves when the latter group turns old?

Pretty much... in a country this rich, we as a society should provide at least subsistence living for all of our elderly citizens. As does every progressive industrialized country.

You think we shouldn't? You think we should do away with SS and medicare?
