Not true. I am getting a tremendous benefit from all the money my parents paid into Social Security - it buys my Mom's groceries and helps pay her mortgage. That's a lot better than zip. I see it as a tremendous gift.
Sure Social Security has a strong socialist theme running through it, but so what? It is a good thing. And so is capitalism. I am proud that I live in a country that has both capitalism and such a fine program as Social Security.
