A: STRONG; LEAVE SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE; ADD NEW PRIVATE SS SAVINGS ACCOUNTS; HIGHER RETURNS FOR SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
Q: How long can the system remain solvent?
A: FOREVER, IF IT IS MANAGED AT HIGHER RETURNS.
Q: Do you support or oppose allowing some people to place a portion or all of the money that is taken in social security into a private account?
A: SUPPORT ADDITIONAL SS SAVINGS ACCOUNTS MANAGED AT HIGHER RETURNS WITH INVESTMENTS IN HIGH PERFORMING ASSETS.
Q: Do you support means testing to remove benefits for those who have the means to provide for themselves?
A: IF YOU PAID, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY COLLECT, PERIOD; NEVER BENEFIT REMOVALS.
Q: If you had complete autonomy, how would you address Social Security?
A: KEEP HANDS OFF SS, ONLY ADD NEW SS SAVINGS ACCOUNT AT HIGHEST RETURNS; OFFER OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL BENEFITS FOR THOSE EARNING ABOVE $110,000 AT HIGHEST RETURNS.
A: I support Social Security as a public government sponsored insurance
A: OPPOSE - I oppose the privatization of Social Security. It is critical that the public protections of Social Security are not privatized and subjected to increased risk. The Ronald Reagan administration targeted Social Security, removing large amounts of funds to salvage other sectors of the economy. We must replace every penny of that money with interest in fairness to the millions of Americans who paid into this system. The replacement of these billions of dollars will assure that future generations of elderly retirees and those with disabilities have access to the dream that Social Security must provide.
A: Paul opposes privatizing Social Security.
A: No, unless any loss from an economic meltdown is protected from a FDIC like program. In 2008; billions of dollars from invested 401K's sunk. people life savings gone.
A: I favor allowing all those wish to continue with the present system the ability to do so, and offer younger Americans the option to direct their own retirement funds.
A: We must maintain a solvent Social Security system in place for those who are receiving benefits or are close to retirement. For younger workers, reform should be considered to include personalized retirement accounts.
A: Strongly support.
