I think there is a problem confusing welfare and SSI. If I pay into SSI, a forced retirement program, all my life I am entitled to draw my pension from it when I retire. Forced savings plans for some people are a good thing. If on the other hand, I don't work just because I'm lazy or because I spend my productive hours reproducing and have no skills to support said offspring, then I am an abuser of a system that wasn't designed to take care of me all my life. It's reasonable to expect people to pay their way. If we all turned into lazy bloodsucking welfare abusers we wouldn't have much, would we?
