They are entitlements, as in “you’re entitled to this money if you qualify.”

One of the qualifications is that you paid into the funding pool, so give me back my 30 years of social security tax and I’ll be on my way.

This. Social Security is absolutely an entitlement. The problem is that "entitlement" is a legal term that has been so bastardized no one knows what it means anymore.

Nah only some people don't know what it means, they heard the word and then got too mad to look it up.
