Libertarians and Social Security

“Most Americans believe that Social Security is a retirement program, an income replacement program, a savings program, or an investment program. The truth, however, is that Social Security is just another welfare program like food stamps; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); Medicaid; section 8 housing vouchers; and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security from the very beginning has always been an intergenerational income transfer program where the young who work are forced to support the elderly who don’t.” (04/13/26)
