>Welfare programs shouldn't take from the poor to give to the wealthy. Agreed, but if SS doesn't, could it work politically? Possibly.

Social Security as currently constituted has worked politically for some time but that isn't justification for taking money from minimum wage workers to give to retired milionaires. Tim
