America would not be what it is today without a goal for a minimum standard of living for all its people, especially the elderly who have contributed a lifetime of labor to making America great. My view of America is not one where our strength comes from selfishness. Calling support of Social Security Communism is a very ineffective cloak for such selfishness.

these arguements are but versions of the arguements used to convince the youth in chaing's china to convert to mao's china........and the millions-MILLIONS of people were murdered to convince the rest. those people didn't die in the streets did they?

i guess the question is where is the greatest evil? which way of governing one's life creates the most growth of the individuals and promotes the most freedom? you want my money/life to power those systems of which you speak? fine. you ASK for it nicely and say please and thankyou and understand that you have no right to it other than what I give. that is freedom and choice.
