I don't think it is a liberal response. The article portends that "social Security" is a welfare program, so if in fact that is the case, those who don't support welfare programs should be free to stand up and refuse it. By your comments Crappie, I assume you receive SS, yet you are yelling that we are creating a welfare state by giving unemployment. It's a typical response to "take that guys benefit, but don't touch mine". I love it when conservative right wingers get on their soap box.
As far as my giving up my retirement, no, I won't be doing that. For one, I'm not the one complaining about welfare programs.
Secondly, I PAID 7 & 8 percent of my income into my retirement system for my entire career. I'm sorry you are jealous and resentful of my retirement. But in fact, I could give up my retirement entirely and not change my standard of living. I still pay more in federal taxes than many people make in a year. But, I'm not resentful of those who need the short term help of the government.
