Why are so many old people against government handouts , butt receive Medicare and Social Security themselves?

>why would someone accept money that they were promised for decades as the government was taking moneu from their paycheck? Why would someone accept free money when youd be economically detrimented to do otherwise? How could someone act rationally self interested while opposing the system in which they are foeced to act?

"palestinian lives matter" is a racist phrase. Only Black lives matter!
