Well personally I dont support the abolition of social security - I dont see any point in it and social security does help a lot of people that really need it. I disagree with the arguments some people make that social security makes people lazy and dependent on handouts.

Privatizing education? I haven't thougt much about it, but it would seem that education would then get more expensive, and only available to a select group of people who could afford it, as you and Samantha have stated. Not an expert on this, but thats what I think ...

But, I'm still curious to see what his reasons are ...

If a group of people wish to participate in Social Security they should be fre to participate in it, if however someone chooses to opt out of social security and use that money to privately invest I think they should be allowed to do that also. As far as return on investment goes social security is probably one of the biggest loosers of all time. I could make a better return on the money I invest into social security by taking that same amount of money rolling it up into a little ball and shoving it up my ass. Then when I reach retirement I pull that ball of money I invested into my ass out and it will be worth more then the retirment I would recieve from government run social security.
