It was the old peoples'
own money when they paid into it for their whole freaking lives. So in a way all they are asking for is their
own money back.

Sure, but where do you draw the line on who has 'put in the most'? I've paid in for 13 years, why should I just lose everything I put in? Furthermore, we don't have the money to just pay the money out to people unless we keep withholding SS from our checks.
