You can believe FDR was a weasel if you want
My grandfather believed the same thing. He also liked this guy, who you sound a lot like here.
Ask the WWII vets if they agree.
Social security only pays you out what you put into it...
Not true. That's the trouble. Retirement age was intended to be just a few years before death. (Think about what that says of life expectancy in the 1930s.) Now people routinely live for decades after retirement. It's not a savings program. If it were, we could just give retirees a check and be done with it.
