Polls
The 75th anniversary of the US Social Security System was this past weekend. How should we handle the program from this point?
- Abolish Social Security. Pay off current retirees' benefits but let everyone else out of the program. Individuals should be responsible for their own retirement. (46%)
- Privatize Social Security, but require people to contribute to some form of retirement in it's place. (27%)
- Reform it: Require more individual & employer contributions to keep it solvent for the next 75 years. Social Security is too important to allow it to go under. (15%)
- Don't change it. Social Security is working, so keep it going as is. (4%)
- Reform it: Increase the retirement age. The system works, but people work longer now and that's how we'll keep Social Security viable. (4%)
- Don't know/undecided (4%)
- Reform it: Reduce benefits. Social Security is important, but there weren't the retirment plan options we have now, so we can cut back on benefits to save the program. (0%)
