I feel that Social Security could be around and substantive when I retire. So I just need to take a moment to reflect on why.

Some politicians and pundits will take any opportunity to call the program impractical, an entitlement, or whatever other words they use to disguise raiding it for themselves, directly or indirectly. But there are others who have banded together in recent months to protect the average American and have done so more openly and more loudly than we've seen in a generation. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and several more are part of an emerging New Left, comprised of social and economic liberals in this country. Elizabeth Warren put it correctly recently. To paraphrase--its not about numbers its about doing what's right.

What's right does not favor the few. It favors everyone. And I believe that these emerging voices must lead this country for us to survive as a first world nation. We need leaders who have the interests of all not just the interests of the few at heart and those who are equally willing to fight for what is right over what will profit the wealthy.

So here's to you all, and thank you for starting to restore my faith in this country and more importantly for looking out for us and doing what is right.
