I told my husband that I don't ever want to retire. First, I can't imagine having too much time on my hands. It'd drive me nuts. I have to do things all the time. I love that we're encouraging older citizens to work with youth. The young can learn so much, and develop respect for the elderly.

I addressed that question - there are a few, but the perception of "entitlement society" is an emotional appeal in and of itself.

Not exactly. All workers pay FICA, which goes to SS and Medicare, but Medicaid is funded by other state and federal funds. A low-income taxpayer will pay FICA, but if he doesn't pay Federal or State, which many don't, he won't be paying for Medicaid. And, Medicaid is not a "pay into" thing like SS, where you pay so much and then you draw so much.
