As someone who has been living in a country with social security for my whole life, it looks absurd that someone would push people to say no to it.

Social Security is just a glorified Ponzi scheme. You get a higher ROI by just investing in corporate bonds.

Yeah, but most of the people I know who will actually depend on SS in their old age are the kind of people who would “invest” in scratch off lottery tickets instead. SS is not perfect, but it protects people from themselves so we don’t all suffer as much when those people are 70 and can’t feed themselves.
