I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but Social Security is a WELFARE program. The original administrators of Social Security argued it was a WELFARE PROGRAM before the Supreme Court in a cast called Fleming V. Nestor. The idea, according to the ORIGINAL framers of Social Security is for that program to be financed by Congress's ability to tax.

I don't like it either. But it's the truth.
