And if you're missing your arms, you should be forced to peel potatoes with your feet.
There are too many potatoes in this world that are going unpeeled because of all of the lazy-ass, disabled old people feasting on cat food and living off the fat of the land.

Damn those lazy old people. Forcing me to eat baked potatoes instead of french fries.

Don't we all pay into Social Security all our working lives? Shouldn't we benefit from that in our old age? Social Security works pretty well. How is it any different than paying into a private retirement fund?
That money has been spent/used/wasted by the federal government long ago. Social security is just welfare, not a retirement plan. That's how the money has been treated. It's not like the government is saving it in a bank account somewhere. Like I said, every able man should work. Nobody has the right to not work.
Regardless of what you have been taught, rheumatoid arthritis will prevent you from peeling potatoes whether you have legs or not.
Then you should have to go through getting disability like everyone else.

I think they do have that right, MCB. Many older people are incapable of working. My mother is 92 and can barely walk. Should I put her out to peel potatoes?

Who's fault is that? Certainly not the elderly that paid in good faith to the Social Security system their entire lives. All annuity plans work the same way. Why punish the elderly because the funds for the plan were diverted elsewhere?
I'm a little appalled at your lack of compassion. How old are you? How old are your parents?

Everyone that voted is to blame. We allowed our government to take our money under the claim that they could save our money better than we could. It looks like they didn't do a very good job either.

Saying every able man should work is an appalling lack of compassion? I'm 35. My parents are 56. We never expect to get welfare because whether I paid in or not, I know that someone else will always get that. I didn't say anything against disabled people getting a free ride. But old does not equal disabled. If that is an appalling lack of compassion, then you ought to have that same compassion for every human being who has to go to work, not just old people. You should have that compassion for every human being who goes to work sick, hurt, or partially disabled, even if it's not an impairment that you can readilly identify with like being old.

I'm loading the bed of my pick-up with potatoes, right after I finish typing this. Those old freeloaders, living it up at the nursing home, are gonna get a chance to earn their keep!

Then you should have to pay for it yourself. Unfortunately that's how it always should have been. It should have been left up to the family to take care of or not to take care of those who cannot work for whatever reason.

If you mean not penalizing them for earning extra money then I'd agree.
