Notice it mostly the wealthy, tax cheats, and coporate criminals who want to privatize SS. They already have retirement benefits that are about 100 times the average workers retirement plans. Thses people don't need Social Security, they just want it to be sure they are taking something away from people who need it. Anyone here think Barbara Bush or George W really needs Social Security?
