Letters To The Editor

“Constitutional Savings”

I’d like to comment on Howard Last’s letter to the editor regarding\“Constitutional Savings” (July 20 issue).

Last’s is the first voice I have heard, besides mine, calling for the abolishment of Social Security. I am 77 and have so far refused to take Social Security. I think it was a bad idea when it started, and not enough of us have had the courage to say enough is enough! Last offered some equitable solutions. I particularly liked the part where the government gives back all the money it has collected.

With education, I think individuals could take charge of their retirement money. It would have the benefit of encouraging people to take responsibility for their lives and their choices. There are many good reasons to defund it: unnatural dependence on the government, push toward socialism/communism, and it is unconstitutional.
