This is why we laugh at them pretty hard.
Why do people in the US think that socialism is such a horrible thing when the very thing they support the most, Social Security, is basically socialism defined?
To the Social Security, I see the retirement part of it as more of a savings account for when I retire kinda thing, the rest I have mixed feelings about due to people living off the system unnecessarily which makes me think of the hard worker giving his money to the person who sits on their butt doing nothing. Some people just work the system so they don't have to work even though they are perfectly capable of doing so. The mixed feelings about it comes from me knowing there are valid cases though where it is deserved.
