I guess a definition of welfare is in order -
Government Welfare is a program or set of programs that provide money, services, or products to individuals and families who are defined as financially poor.
Social Security and Medicare are governmental programs which are ONLY provided to workers who paid into the system during their careers and are only paid out in a proportion to the amount paid into the system.
