Dunno about Art, but I know I definitely paid for Social Security and
Medicare, both when I was on active duty and in the 17 years since
retirement. I paid income tax on active duty as well.

I image Art also paid something into the system. I'm referring to the fact
that the typical recipient will receive benefits far above what they put in.
The difference is welfare.
