Oh, I feel stupid now. I agree though. Callling Social Security an entitlement is bullshit. We pay in to that from the minute we get our first jobs.
Actually, SS is the perfect example of an entitlement. It is something you have a right to-in the case of SS because you paid into it. Of course, most people get more back than they paid in, but it remains an entitlement. It is only the last few decades that there is a negative connotation to entitlement.
