Reply #30: because they want to steal your money

[amazona]

The GOP is all about the theft and giving hand-outs to the financial services industry. Social Security is a competitor for that industry, since they assume that all moneys currently put into SSN would go into investment.

A system that doesn't have to provide for profit is going to be more leaner and more efficient than a system that has to pay for fat cat CEOs, so of course the financial service industry bitterly resents people having Social Security to rely on. They would rather see you get much less money in retirement after paying high fees for financial service to Citibank and the rest of the usual suspects.


Middle class and poor people who object to Social Security are dupes. Some are merely ignorant and can be educated. Others do not have the intelligence to withstand the constant hammering of anti-Social Security propaganda from the noisy gang of thieves and enablers in the media.
