Even if we are pretty good at caring about people we are even better at assuming people who are in distress are there because they deserve it.
It shouldn't be too hard to convince the average person that anyone (who isn't him, because lord knows we see ourselves as victims of circumstance but rarely give others that benefit) who is destitute at that age should have worked harder, saved more, been nicer to his/her kids so they'd open their doors, etc. Rich people on wall street worked hard for their money. Poor old people on the street street are lazy freeloaders that we finally had the balls to yank out of their tax-fed luxury lifestyle. No more government lobster for you, you lazy jerk. Bank on it!
Most people against SS do not paint those people as shiftless bums. Their claim either that the govt has no right to do it, or that it's going to collapse.
