Sure it does.

Accepting a Social Security benefits check... which is socialism... while
complaining about socialism, especially saying that socialists ought to be
killed... is just outright hypocrisy.


I'd happily forgo my Social Security check later in life as long as I am
exempt from paying FICA today.


Remember that SS is for more than retirement. Should you get hit by a
truck tomorrow, and are unable to work, you get to collect. If the
truck kills you, your wife and kids (assuming you have any) also collect.

The widow must be at full retirement age or disabled and age 50, or she must be
caring for a child of the deceased. The children must be under 18, or 22 if
disabled.

If I had put the money into a Roth IRA, or the equivalent, they would get
*everything* without all the qualifications. Personal savings accounts are the
way to go!
