Actually if you look at polling, when people try to touch or take away Social Security, its a shitstorm. Its one of the reasons why Bush got in so much trouble in his 2nd term.

That's not actually because people like social security.  It's because they've put money in already.

Hell if someone told me "Hey your paying bob's way... then uh... your on your own."  I'd be pissed too.

Everyone is still pissed about social security however because they know it's a giant pyramid scheme where the bottom is eventually going to collapse and someone is going to be left holding the bag.

It was a crappy system that anyone should of been able to tell would of been a bad idea.

Pyramid scheme?  You're saying that the system relies on ever-increasing population to remain solvent?  I thought it was just that a lot of people are supposed to die before they get old enough to collect, so the collections never get top-heavy.  But improved medicine etc. means way more old people than was forseeable, and Social Security itself letting more live longer, and of course the unusually large generation about to hit the system. 

I guess I'm asking for a more detailed explanation of why it's a broken concept. 

Also, my friend says that some old people in Japan have weird-looking mouths:
