Call it Socialism if it make you feel better but if you have a six digit yearly income you simply don't need social security, if you rely on that monthly check to survive...you sorta do!
like i said, if you only pay it back to those who 'deserve' it, it's no longer what it was set up to be. if we aren't paying enough to keep it solvent, raise the withholding-don't lower it like what was done for this year! and don't let the gov 'borrow' from it, then we have to pay that back as well.
