While you're not wrong, I would go further and say that it's a bullshite view of what social security is.

Social Security is an entitlement, just like any other entitlement. Qualified recipients get benefits from the taxes that other people paid in. The SCOTUS already ruled it an entitlement.

The, "But it's MY money that I paid in," is just the marketing brochure that the government used back in 1936 to sell the program to the public.

Anybody who still believes that is a rube.

But most people who say that really don't believe it...they just want to have their cake and eat it too, so they say it.

It is indeed, but you have no clue as to why.
