social security is a welfare program at best and a ponzi scheme at worse.

Ponzi is more like it IMO

If 'God' sent a mailing with I will take X amount of money out of your check, spend it on whatever he chooses and at the time of signing up it is 63 when you can start withdrawing, but God may change that to a more advanced age especially if 'God' was running out of money. And oh yea, 'God' will decide your benefit or (payment per month) at that time. And 'God' may not pay you anything if you've saved too much money. With no payment back on investment upon death, how many besides Riot would raise their hands?
