Kill the beast!

I want SSI slaughtered on the alter of the free market. I don't like to be forced to pay some other nitwit's retirement. I worked and saved for my retirement and see no reason why the majority of people cannot do the same.

I do believe in some sort of charity system for the cripple and destitute, for which SSI was originally created. But the current retirement is stooopid. Check out the Swedish and Chilean models for systems that work to teh advantage of the retiree.

Private accounts were proposed by Moynihan and Breaux in Clinton's administration. It was a good idea then and its a good idea now.
