KT, They absolutely want to get rid of social security and are not hiding it. Who in their right mind would want to keep a bankrupt pyramid scheme that socializes the risks of retirement by paying more money out to the people that don't need it, would have been vastly better off without it, etc.. The goal should be to shrink it as quickly as possible (over decades) so that we all pay way less into it, save for ourselves, but it remains available for those that don't make enough money to save for retirement or blow it all with bad investments. It should become a kind of welfare system. The people that created SS and modified it into it's current form literally have to be financially and economically retarded.
