Since When is it an Entitlement to Spend My Own Money

This is an interesting article, not really examining Romney's VP pick and the effect on entitlements, but more an examination of how the word has changed over the years.
What really gets me is why exactly Social Security considered an entitlement. It's not like I'm asking the government for free money, just for the money I paid into it. And the odds I'll ever see that money again when I retire 35 years from now..
Bernie Madoff went to jail for doiong the exact same thing, only I guess it's worse when rich people are screwed.
