Social Security and wealth.
#1
Social Security and wealth.
I do think there should be a certain amount that after a career of getting rich, that you don't need your social security.  It isn't arguing that you didn't pay into it, everyone does even the rich. But more in to the fact that it becomes a burden on the lower classes to eventually have to pay you  back when you don't need it. Social security was never intended to help someone like Jeff Bezos. But to help middle class and working class.

"Its my money" isn't the point, otherwise why put the word "social" in the name that describes the institution "social security". 

This is the same selfish mentality a man might use being the breadwinner in a relationship and tells the women what she can or cannot buy for herself or the household. 

If Jeff Bezos were to retire and not receive a social security check with his personal wealth today, he'd be able to live fine.
