A welfare check is a check that is written to a citizen of the United States which they did nothing to earn. The money is plundered from someone else and redistributed to you by a politician. Social Security is welfare because while we pay a tax, it is spent and your check will be confiscated from future taxpayers. Private Pension funds are actually funded and invested for your future benefit and they are based on your working for the money. Social Security is based on you paid welfare to your parents, they paid welfare to their parents, your kids will pay welfare to you...Define a "federal government welfare check." I know of no one who gets a check just for being poor or out of work. If a person's income or disability qualifies for certain health care, food, rent subsidy, those are all separately administered on a case-by-case basis, usually with more help from state social welfare programs than the federal government.
Then stop collecting social security money for people who work. or stop paying it out to people who have never worked.
No, because no money is saved. There is no connection whatsoever between the money you paid and the money you receive. If our money were saved (ala a saving plan) then you would have a valid point. Because you are taxed for working and that paid to your parents doesn't make your children being taxed for working and giving that money to you not welfare. Sorry, it's welfare.
