2005.01.14: Bush Social Security Plan a "declaration of War" on Workers?

2005.01.14: Bush Social Security Plan

The Green Party, USA, the party Ralph Nader used as the basis of his runs for President, has a diatribe up about Social "Security" and how the crisis is, in fact, no crisis.

My own opposition to Social "Security" has little concern for whether the program is solvent or not. It's a system of government-enforced theft from one's own children to pay for one's retirement. It's a Ponzi Scheme on a massive scale, and it's not just endorsed, but enforced by the very government that declares Ponzi Schemes to be illegal.

But, I must admit, Republicans seem hell-bent on making this a "crisis" debate. So, if that's the route this debate is going to take, then the opposite view needs to be address. And this one is better than some, not as good as others.
