Greg Parke on Social Security

System is broken and we have to fix it by providing choice

Saving Social Security

We have to save Social Security and we have to do it now. Our Social Security system is broken and we have to fix it. It has been left unprotected. We have to make sure our seniors are protected, and that they get every dollar they deserve. The government is ravaging our payroll taxes like corporate fat cats feeding off of investor retirement funds. What can we do? Give retierees a choice.
