So I'm reading my politics book.... and Quote:

"Even today, more than half of all American workers do not have a private pension plan; they will have to rely solely on Social Security for their retirement. If there were no Social Security, half of all senior citizens would be living below the poverty line."

Geez... this is why I hate SS. Let's breed an entire race of people that are reliant on government to do everything for them. But because of how it is run, it will be almost impossible to abolish. Grrr. Back to reading about our stupid government. :-P
