End Social Security & its Nazi numbering & its socialist slavery !
Social security reform should be opposed, in favor of the libertarian solution: end the scam and its Nazi numbering.

The biggest threat is ignored: Reforms will nationalize everything. If all SS taxes had been invested in stocks, then the government would own the entire economy today. Everyone is lucky that his stolen money was squandered.

The biggest outrage is ignored: that Americans are numbered as infants for lifetime surveillance.

The public obsesses about fine-tuning the theft program.

National numbering was imposed in 1935, as the USA followed the path of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). The federal government was growing massively and attempting to nationalize the economy in many ways.

Today, the USA numbers babies, and government schools demand the numbers for enrollment, and the numbers track homes, workplaces, incomes, finances, and more, for life.

It is now the cornerstone of the USA’s police state.

Reform It, Not Abolish It
Any reform to Social Security should not change the indomitable rule of providing a guaranteed benefit. Conservatives are correct when they state that the original intention of Social Security was not to be the sole source of retirement income, but simply provide that same benefit, but they are wrong by wanting to replace this guarantee with a doubtful benefit, nebulous in how much it would provide.

A popular example the same conservatives use is the success of the Thrift Savings Plan for government employees, but what they neglect to mention if this same plan is an add-on to the guaranteed benefit of Social Security. If they truly wish to provide all Americans with this option then they would not remove the benefit, but simply offer another choice that may increase the benefit for retired Americans. The government should allow Americans the ability to increase their Social Security benefit, it is a restraint on liberty to not do so, but, it is reckless to remove the safety net.

Welcome to YouDebateIt.com
This is the place for debate with an added element of friendly competition. This is a debating and essay resource and practice tool, not a debating society or club. There are no complicated rules, but these debates have structure. Each debate consists of a topic with two opposing views.

These are short essays limited to about 150-165 words. Present your strongest argument the first time, since you can't go back to change it--as with the National Forensic League and other speech and debate formats. Read these debates, then vote for your favorite arguments.

These debates are fun, informative and give exposure to all sides of the issues. Most debates will be archived (arguments that are obscene or offensive may be deleted). The better and more interesting debates will be featured.
