Social Security and Pets

Social Security and Pets
Many people have pets. Many people receive a social security check. However, most people feel more strongly either way about whether or not social security is a good thing or a bad thing. Social security is when adults receive a check for being over the age of 65 or having a disability. Many people sense that there is something outright wrong with receiving a check for having a disability. This is essentially the idea of rewarding the lame. It is pure communism.
What if we view social security as something different? What if we view social security in a similar way to society having pets? Yes, people on social security get something for nothing, but pets do to! This is not about livestock, grown to be slaughtered, but about pets. What makes a pet a pet is that it is an animal solely for the purpose of enjoyment. Having social security is as giving care for pets.Few are the people rejoicing at the sufferings of individuals, but rather the kindhearted reach out to individuals in need. There is a certain enjoyment, or reward in doing this. It is the reward for doing a good deed, and social security is just that. It is the same as providing good care for a pet, maybe a home for a stray, that the animal did nothing personally to merit. Through these eyes, social security should be nothing but pure reward for caring individuals. These would be the kind people that see that no person out of reason would injure himself/herself for the purpose of receiving money or needs to suffer unduly because in the life they received the shortest straw.
