Either reform or privatize Social Security. No longer is it an investment but rather a bank account for the federal gov.

Created by M.H. on December 05, 2012

The federal government set up social security to give people a secure retirement. However, the tax rates have increased on employees, employers, and the self-employed and the government has been borrowing money from social security and filing I.O.U.'s. This will result social security being underfunded when many Americans decide to retire. It's becoming more and more common that social security beneficiaries are ending up paying more money through the social security taxes than they are getting back. The idea behind social security was to return more money through benefits to employees; it was essentially an investment. Now, the federal government has abused it and they're stealing from Americans. Either privatize social security or reform it, so beneficiaries’ money is protected.
