The main purpose of Social Security is to redistribute wealth, to make an increasingly large number of Americans dependent on government for their basic needs in their retirement years.

We can preserve Social Security benefits for generations of Americans without privatizing this important program.

Social Security is more than just a retirement program. The biggest misunderstanding is that it's a program for old folks.

The retirement age needs to be raised. A portion of Social Security ought to be privatized, if not all. And there probably needs to be some means testing. It's a Ponzi scheme that's not sustainable.

Social Security is nourished by formal employment, which needs a larger commitment from the federal government to grow,

Voters should be assured that I absolutely do not support raising the retirement age for Social Security.
