My father-in-law bemoans socialism but sure nuff loves his medicare and social security.
Stop saying social security is socialism.
It is taking my money by edict, holding it for me and giving it back to me.
It's not taking your money from you and giving it to me.
Now, we can argue that that's how the government is running SS but that's because they mismanage and abuse everything they touch.
This x 1000!

You just can't help looking stupid. Neither of those programs are socialized.
Hmmm... yes they are.
Current workers support current enrollees with the promise that they will be taken care of when it is there time to retire. There is not lock box. There are no individual accounts. When you're eligible to begin receiving SS, the amount received monthly is based on the amounts deposited, however, you can pull more than contributed if you live longer. Medicare does not limit based on the amount contributed. Both are clear examples of socialism.
