It is difficult these days, where people are not expecting to retire anymore. But, that is the most important thing to protect for Americans. If there is not some expectation of retirement with dignity then what is the purpose to anyone waking up and working for 35-plus years? Without retirement, the vast majority of Americans will become serfs begging at the tables of the rich for scraps. And, no one wants that.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew the right thing to protect all the people, all the time was to create a Social Security Administration with the expressed mission of aiding those who are permanently disabled and those who have become elderly. The alternative to the SSA is...unthinkable. If there is no Social Security then the top ten percent will not only act like they own the rest of us: they will.
