I have nothing against it at all, except the fact that the government is allowed to exempt itself from laws. Privatization of Social Security will allow those of us young enough to invest our money. The rate of return on SS is ridiculous. I could earn more money by just placing my money in a bank account earning a measly 3% than I would get from SS. I just threw that out there because the opponents of private SS have their own versions.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
