Because they paid for it once? Sure, the payment in/out is a fiction, but there's been a payroll tax for ages with the claim that you'll get that money back when you retire. It's too late to raise the dead who got something for nothing in the 40s and 50s, but to do anything more than limit the growth of social security payments will outrage not only the generation now receiving benefits but the one now paying for them. Shit, I figure I won't see most of what I'm paying in now. I sure as hell won't support it if I don't see any of it at all.
