Well, whatever you "consider" it, you are accepting benefits from a
socialist program.

I could retire years ahead, or pass money on to others, if it were not being
stolen from me.


Nah, you'd have frittered it away like you did your take-home pay. If
you weren't already saving & investing wisely, increasing your take-home
by the amount taken for Social Security would not have changed your
financial status.

You've just nailed the liberal credo on the head!
