Preserve Social Security 

By Kevin Barrett 

One of the reasons Libertarians rarely win elections is Social Security. People think Libertarians are going to eliminate Social Security and let the old folks starve.  

I’m all in favor of Social Security. I think it is one of the rare government programs that has raised our quality of life.  

Views differ about whether there will soon be a crisis in funding Social Security. If we have problems funding it, there’s an easy way to solve them: First, stop looting the Social Security Trust Fund! Then, repeal the “rich man’s Social Security tax exemption.” Did you know that Bill Gates earns millions of dollars a year, but doesn’t pay a penny of Social Security tax on almost all of his earnings? I think Bill Gates should pay Social Security taxes like everybody else. If he did, maybe the rest of us wouldn’t have to pay so much.
