Privatization would abandon public

Recent chants by Republicans that "Social Security has got to go" make me nauseous.

The future health and retirement of the vast majority of Americans is in jeopardy as

Republicans move toward abolishing Social Security entirely. Republicans seem intent on backing away from all programs that offer any real benefits to their constituents. Their only goal appears to be to free up as many tax dollars as they can to spend on government funded programs that line the pockets of the rich. Privatization or abolishing Social Security entirely is just that, an attempt to abandon the American public and bankrupt this country to the benefit of a very wealthy minority.
