Did you use money? The government created and owns that.\nDo you walk on streets? Ditto.\nDo you expect police and fire protection?\nAs a citizen of a country you enter into a sort of social contract where you agree to laws and taxes and the government agrees to protect you and... whatever else.\nTaxes make the sort-of-a-social-contract work.\nIf you lived in a social vaccuum, where you existed apart from all and some total stranger wandered by and gave you something of value for your basket, you might be able to claim privacy from all gov't interaction.\nBut then you wouldn't be able to ask questions on Y!

Move to a Communist country and you'll be all set.  Why should someone who doesn't work get the same benifits of those who work for their money?

That could be interesting. Imagine if you could set up citizenship-timeshare mechanisms over the web to provide a fast supply and demand type of mechanism that would allow for the fast use of citizenships to supply the needed workforce for evry country in the world ...

It is SSI (Social security insurance) unless it is a foster youth.  They can also get welfare assistance if they are impoverished and food stamps.  They can also get support from the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.

There is ever risk to security.  Sometimes people give, sometimes people take.  That is just the way it is.  It is the same with organizations and governments too.  Sometimes we help.  Sometimes we hurt.  Because there are those who take (lie, steal, cheat), there are always risks to safety and security.  Overall, our country is relatively safe compared to most others on the planet today.  That makes us secure.

The Social Security crisis is not a myth, it's an inevitability of demographics that there will be more people drawing than paying in to it in the future.  The so called trust fund has been invested in very low yielding bonds for a long time, mostly so Congress could have access to the money to hide deficits (both parties share blame equally for this).  Generally speaking the average person  would be able to get a better return on on that money in a self directed IRA, 401K plan, or buying annuities.

nah you're cool dude. It's a problem. there are no easy solutions in a country with spineless politicians and a public who are starving for any kind of scandal to criticize them about.. but something serious needs to be done. doors need to be shut, treasuries need to be distributed properly. but then again, benefits are the one thing stopping people from dealing and robbing to survive, so maybe it's good that some benefits are goin that way. besides, a month of war can feed a decade of 13yr old chavette moms and freeloading foreigners. as pathetic as it may seem, there are far worse crimes in politics

In 1936, the federal government published an informational pamphlet on Social Security.  It stated:   \n\n"…and finally, beginning in 1949, 12 years from now, you and your employer will each pay 3 cents on each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year.  That is the most you will ever pay."\n\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/history/ssn/ssb36.html\n-----\n\nHELL YES !!!\nBut I guess I'm just too stupid to take care of myself, so politicians will do it for me.  Yep, I'm too stupid to save my money properly.  Yep, I'm too stupid to buy the proper insurances to protect myself from unforeseen events.  Yep, I'm just too stupid.\n\n.

Yes because in most democracies the security is typically less than in other forms of government.
