You find the term offensive, I find it comforting. Word choice doesn't take away the fact that it is a social program designed to keep people off the streets when they fall on hard times.
I could launch into a diatribe about social security and the difference between socialized medicine and a purely privatized medical world, but it's not worth it.
You seem to be looking to want to take offense to things. I'm just noting that almost everyone can and should, like you pointed out, use government assistance when it is applicable.

Nah, I think we misunderstood each other is all. Sorry about that. I blame it on all the politics lately railing against people who actually use the system they put money into for it's intended purpose.

If you don't like it feel free to move to another country, have fun finding one that has no taxes and no social support system whatsoever but still lets you lead a relatively decent life.
