Social Security used to be an system of personalized accounts where money is extracted from every workers paychecks for 20 to 40 years, and then their own money is given back to them when they are retired. Problem is that the government plundered that program and squandered it on other programs.
No, the problem is that people weren’t given the option to spend or save their money the way they wanted to. I can invest my money way better than the government can, and it is MY money. The whole social security program was immoral from the beginning.

(shrug…) So what? It’s an immoral world. Just deal with it.
Your impotent complaints are irrelevant because you have absolutely no power to alter public policy. Maybe you’ll get some of your own money back when your time comes… and maybe not.
So what are you going to do about it?

What? How is the Objectivist position irrelevant in a forum specifically made to explore Objectivism?
Changing people’s philosophy is the best way to make change, which is what I am attempting to do (as well as explore ideas) with my posts as anyone can read it.
I am not a determinist and I don’t “just deal” with anything that is forced upon me.

Don’t get me wrong,it’s just fine to intellectually explore Objectivism. But if this exploration is to have any real value, don’t you think that means real world actions? This is why I asked you what are you going to do about a public policy over which you exercise absolutely no control?

And what will they do about it?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off so blunt. But I really would like to know what you are personally going to do about what you perceive as an injustice. If there is no answer, feel free to consider it as merely a rhetorical question.
