> Social Security is an authoritarian play, or a power play

A more charitable view would be that social security is an attempt to provide a minimum standard of living for all seniors and the disabled. How do you propose that society cares for these people, particularly the disabled, if it's not done at a societal level?

Retirement also benefits the young/middle aged by ensuring jobs open up.
