54. Maybe not, but you certainly sound like a republican

"What would I like in place of it?..I don't know, perhaps nothing"?

Fine..but most people do not feel as you do.

Social Security and Medicare are THE most popular

government program in the nation...Something like 70 to 80%

of Americans ACROSS POLITICAL lines support both

and want to maintain them.

I believe you have NO idea how bad things were for the elderly

before the implementation of Social Security.

As to personal savings accounts, sure..As I said earlier, it's great if you CAN

save for your retirement,

but it doesn't work out for everyone, especially since wages

have been stagnating for the almost twenty five years.

Ayn Rand didn't think much of social security until, it turns out,

her life plan didn't work out as well as she imagined,

and she found herself old and in need.

Guess what?...She bagged her "beliefs" and took it!
