Why I don't like Social Security

This will be short and sweet after my last train wreck of a post.

Say what you want about the President's plan on social security, or the GOP's in general. Or for that matter the Democrat's or the AARP's plan. I don't really care that much. I think this will be one of the President's biggest battles he has faced, and like President Clinton's health care plan, it will not succeed.

But I don't like social security for one simple reason. It gives you money just because you're old. You don't need to be anything else (generally, I'm ignoring the disabled that truly need it), you just need to be old. You don't need to be deserving. You just need to have lived to an age that's been deemed the age at which you have become useless. If I was 65 years old, I would refuse social security on sheer principal. I'm not useless, I can still work. I am still a productive member of society.

But whatever, I'm not, and no one listens to me.
