Why do they think we feel entitled to what we have already paid for?

     Over and over again, I hear the pundits complain about how expensive the "Entitlements" are that the baby boomers want.  First off I agree there are entitlements out there that shouldn't exist and we can argue about what they are.   We can argue about the Social Secuity program but we have lost the purpose behind it.  It was meant to provide money to older folks and to get them out of the work force.  Plain, simple and to the point.  More jobs for the working age people because now folks don't have to hang on to their jobs for support.  The brilliant part is that WE pay for it ourselves. We are forced to pay in (and our employers in some cases) our premium is pre-deducted (and we don't miss it) and our money will be there when we need it.  So why isn't it?   It was supposed to be locked away!     
      Congress in their wisdom has given social security money to many groups that have never paid in.  One example is a disabled child born to a covered parent can draw lifetime without ever paying in.  The connection is there and perhaps can be stretched to cover them but what about their children, oh yes they can draw for life also.  I am not saying that there should not be support for disabled people but asking why should it come from the "Locked Box"   Congress stole our Social Security Money and they added a tax to buy our health insurance. 
      Now lets look at how much money we had taken from us to support our Social Security and Health insurance.  I am guess/estimating that since I have started paying in to Social Security I have been taxed  over $100,000.00  and since medicare started   I have been taxed $21,000.00.  If my money was lock boxed (as we were told it would be)  and if we were paid interest ,my Social Security check would last well over 10 years.  My health insurance if paid out properly would last over 10 years also.  All of that said, where is it written that what I have paid for ,I cannot have.
    I wish to inform the pundits that I want what I paid for!  I hope congress gets it, I have had my fill of them stealing my money over and over again.  I won't start on Medicare because it would take too much space, suffice to say that medical prices have skyrocketed since congress stepped in to control them.  Please leave comments and remember small words please!
