Look jackass I was forced to pay in. I am still paying in. it is a pay to play Ponsi scheme that hasn't toppled just yet. It is only an entitlement if I had a choice in making the payments. In fact one could call SS an extortion racket with a small payout.
Words have meanings; and very specific ones. That you were “forced” to pay in has fúckall to do with it.
You paid in, you have a claim to receive benefits. No more; no less. All your other hand waving is superfluous. I’m not saying it’s fair; just; a good idea; or anything else. But it’s the very definition of an entitlement. That you wish to use alternate definitions or connotations of the word is on you and your willful obstinance.
