You sound like a kind of knee-jerk yourself to me.

Social Security is a great benefit for the wealthy. It provides survival money for the people at the bottom of the ladder so that we don't have to worry about them.

Or if you want to be a little more idealistic, it's a contract between the generations in a society to look after each other.

It was never meant to be a way of accumulating wealth and it never was anything but a welfare plan, though it had to be sold to the public as a retirement plan.

You sound like someone who would approve of bringing back private ownership of highways.
