Social Security is one of the greatest achievements of the American government, protecting our elderly against poverty and assuring young people of a more secure future.

More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.

Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.

Without Social Security, poverty rates for African American seniors would more than double.

Social Security, all public and no option, rescued older Americans from living their final years in poverty.

Why shouldn't future generations and young Americans have the choice to earn a higher rate of return? Why shouldn't they be able to own their own Social Security so that Congress can't spend it on other things?
