[QUOTE="EffOff, post: 2328230, member: 45762"] Yep. And of course the Dems latched onto his efforts and managed to scare people into opposing it. As I understand it, he didn't want to completely privatize it. He wanted people to have a choice: to invest the money taken out for SS or keep things as they were by continuing the contribute to the SS fund. One advantage of the investment option is that the Gov't would have a harder time throwing roadblocks in your way when you want to tap into what's rightfully yours. As it is, the Gov't treats SS a lot like welfare. If you try to tap into it early, you better be poor, (make less than $16,000 a year) or you have to put up with the Gov's Rube Goldbergian distribution system, which is designed to put people off in the hopes they'll kick the bucket before collecting a red cent of what they were forced to contribute to all their working lives. Nice, eh? [/QUOTE]
