No. That's a state pension that is rewarded for the thousands of dollars you've paid in taxes over the years and were lucky enough to live long enough to see some return.

No it isn't.
With your train of thought, every pension fund is socialism.
Wtf do you think Social Security numbers and payments are for?

Uh, that social security check you're cashing is just blatant socialism.
oh really?
has someone else been making my payments on such over the years?
social security is not welfare
people pay into that

you didn't answer my question
I made the payments no one else
attempting to put social security and medicade (also which is withdrawn from my paycheck) as welfare or entitlements is a nice trick
I paid for those things no matter how you attempt to spin I did not.
