Entitlement

Dear, Mr. President, Senators, Members of Congress, and the National News Media,

Please stop referring to Social Security and Medicare as "entitlements". The government of the United States of America did not give the people the right or claim to the money in these programs. American workers entrusted this money to the Federal Government for the specific purpose of having the government safeguard that money for their retirement and for medical needs upon reaching a specified age.
This money belongs to the people who invested in the programs. The Federal Government broke the trust with the people by changing the laws to access and spend that money in ways other than intended at the inception of these programs.
The government made it into an entitlement for some by allowing many who did not contribute to the programs to collect from them.
We are forced to contribute to these programs and forced to let the same government which has mismanaged and corrupted them, continue to make financial decisions which will affect our futures.
With an abundance of wasteful expenditures in the federal budget, why do you all insist that these programs must be cut? Consider that Social Security and Medicare are entitlements in as much as we paid into these programs so we are are entitled to be paid back.
