visiting a social security office when I was in high school. I asked an employee why we couldn't keep our own money and invest it. He said, we (I and you) cannot be trusted to do that. The government has to take our money and do it for us. Irrespective of all the debates about SS funding, that was the insulting opinion of a SS employee.
An editorial that makes ya go hmmmmm....
U.S. Citizens Must Be Protected, Controlled,
Regulated, And Intimidated For Their Own Good
I'm glad for some of the regulation of industry, etc., but the author does make a good point about an awful lot of stuff done "for our own good" that is what truly limits our freedoms, Patriot Act notwithstanding!
