Entitlements

Right-wingers call Social Security an "entitlement" for one reason -- so they can demonize it and eventually abolish it. It is not an entitlement. It is a federal insurance program that a worker pays premiums into their entire working life to insure they will not spend their retirement homeless and destitute. And it is one of the few federal programs that works exactly as it was intended to work. Comic is from slowpokecomics.com.
