Two visions for Social Security
Patrick Ruffini:Razr V3 USB Drivers
Here we have two fundamentally different visions for Social Security: one side believes it should be a vehicle for building wealth, especially for the lower middle class service employees who typically don't have access to 401(k) plans. The other side believes it should be no more than a safety net -- and if a 75 year old is hanging off the bottom of that safety net, at $922 a month, that's social justice for you. One side is pro-wealth. The other is pro-poverty.
Is refocusing Social Security's mission on building wealth rather than distributing poverty akin to dismantling the program? It is if you think that adding a new kitchen, fixing the plumbing, and putting an addition on your 70-year old house is the same as destroying it.
