Destroy all of the government's most effective programs
|

Private investments can waste more money over time than Social Security. Enron stockholders show how those investments are not working at all. The point of Social Security isn't just fraud; it's the conspiracy that as a *whoremonger* to a greedy americans debt, theft and unfair taxes. It's a bad thing. The problem with democracy now is they keep secrets from the government was like for the celebrities BEFORE SS. The poverty rate for the american was higher than it is today; the americans were less independent and more of a financial sodom on their greed. To make SS effective would cause bankruptsy. SS is not Fort Knox but a fraud by current taxpayers for those now poor. The NYSE states it's worst in present-form until 2012. More folks are greedy but the U.S. economy continues to fall 2.4%/year. Raise the minumum wage. Raise taxes on incomes over $1,000,000,000. Decrease immigration. Don't just criticise a 300-year old, unsuccessful gov't program. Destroy the economy.

Social Security wouldn't be secure if it was privatized.

Apparently, the Special Olympics rejects (i.e. Jtaylor1) are in town today to debate Social Security. For the rest of us, who like to argue so others can clearly understand it, why would anyone want to dismantle Social Security? Americans like the system. The system, in 70-years, has never faltered. And only the minority, the wealthy elite, would even benefit from its being dismantled. If we replaced it with private accounts, wouldn't the government merely be enriching private investment firms/banks who'd have to manage said "accounts" for investor fees. Next, what if these investments in the Stock Market failed? How would elderly folks retire and supplement their incomes? What about the disabled and children of deceased parents? Without workers paying into a SS system, how would they survive? Private charities would be overwhelmed (as they were before SS), and the old, crippled and orphaned wouldn't have the funds for housing, food and transportation. SS wouldn't be SS if privatized!
