Social Security Sucks

I work for my money and I want all of it. I don't want to give some up so the government can pay me back when I retire. I know how to invest money on my own, why should I give any of my earned money up? We need to stop depending on big brother. In this day and age everyone should know how to take care of their own money. If you frivolously blow your paycheck that's your own choice/problem.

Discuss.

i think people here have their definitions of socialism mixed up. some people are calling a welfare based (but still capitalist inclined) country socialist while other are calling wikipedia defined socialism socialism.
