Why Liberals are really reluctant to means test Social Security
benefits

"..Social Security and Medicare depends heavily on the fact that many
Americans don’t see them as wealth redistribution programs, but as
earned benefits. “I paid in, I deserve to get something
back.” ...Means testing would make that view far less plausible, since
it would make it hard to disguise that these are not insurance plans
but welfare programs..."
