Whoa, folks out there in the mainstream media and in some left-leaning blogs, Social Security and Medicare are NOT entitlements. Working people pay premiums for Social Security and Medicare. Each paycheck received reflects a reduction in take home pay that constitutes a premium payment for both insurance programs. And, for those of us who are contractors or consultants, we pay for both in our quarterly estimated tax payments.
