On Private Accounts Verses the Status Quo

Let me be clear. I do not want private Social Security accounts. It is my money, it is my future and I want to prepare for it with neither the helping hand of the government nor the oppressive strong arm that waits behind it. All the same it is telling for those opposed to private accounts to liken the system to “playing Russian Roulette with our retirements”. As if they really didn’t know that as the system stands now it is like our retirements are actively being lined up before a firing squad.
