He directly takes the position that social security is welfare.

That he does, and I disagree with him.

If he were to call it a Ponzi scheme, or simply another tax in which not all share equally in contributions and/or benefits, I would be more inclined to agree with him. If he were to point out that the fund has been looted by the politicians, who are busy either wanting to cut benefits or inflating the dollar so the benefits you receive are worthless...either way passing out a good old fashioned screwing, I would be inclined to agree once again.

But I have places to go and things to do, so I'll let it go at that for the present.
