My wife and both of her brothers then proceeded to receive monthly Social Security checks until they all 3 turned 18.

That was a "handout". And it happens all the time.

And now I have seen Democrats suggesting that
1. Social Security be "means tested". Which means that even though you may have paid in to "your" social security all of your life...if you are rich when you retire, you don't get it. They haven't done this YET. But it's seriously being considered as a way to "save" Social Security.

2. Raising the cutoff point on paying Social Security taxes. So that "rich" people will pay in even MORE money to it. Basically making it plain out welfare.
