They don’t put it quite like that, of course. “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good,”
says Hillary Clinton. “Putting people in charge of their own assets breaks down the solidarity that comes from doing something together,”
says Noam Chomsky. So that is why Democrats oppose the privatization of Social Security, is it? The
noble public interest, social solidarity, and all that?
Not exactly, according to
Pete du Pont.
It’s odd that the opponents of Social Security privatization are
all in favor of private solutions for themselves, even public employee unions and AARP. Why don’t
they want the American people to have the same benefits?
Writes du Pont: “The government’s Social Security system is socialism’s last redoubt, and must be preserved at all costs.”
