When you’re 16, or 25 or 35 and working, and paying into the mandatory social security program with your hard earned money, you don’t know if by the time you’re 62, 65 or 72 that you’ll be well off. You should expect to get that money back no matter what your financial situation when you get older because it is, in fact, YOUR money.
Why is it you think that because someone is better off than you that it is somehow wrong for them to get what belongs to them or that they should share it with you? Grow up!

Social security is an entitlement that you earn for years of working; including being a soldier. Confusing it with welfare is just stupid; or plain political mudslinging.

Technically he paid his money in and should get his money back at the end, just like everyone else wants to be able to do.

And why shouldn’t he be able to get his SS? He’s paid into for years just like the rest of us and he is entitled to it. Compairing that to welfare is just stupid.

Social Security is NOT welfare. This money is taken out of your check every week for your retirement age. He is entitled to it at his age and still be eligible to make money, but it will be taxable. His wife’s money has nothing to do with it.

He paid for someones social security. His father paid for someones social security. Who is going to pay for our children’s social security if none of us have any money?but, It is not illegal to have social security
only bizarre since he has all that money.
Share the wealth is a socialist ideology that I am starting to begin to understand.
Sorry,
Worked hard all your life just to get there friends but it is getting pretty scary out here. Maybe if we just did not bail out big spenders and bailed out us lesser spenders, we would not be so scared of living again as peasants and feudal lords reigning terror!

Not at all. You’re just envious.

Welfare has nothing to do with Social Security, so this question is just another smear tactic. Social Security is a retirement program for those who have worked and put money into the program. John McCain worked his entire life. Admirably served this country and suffered terribly during his military career in defense of our rights. And you think he shouldn’t be allowed to have the benefits he rightfully is entitled to have? You need to return to fourth grade social studies class and learn a little bit about what it means to be a American.
