Social security is unsustainable. It is a solution which will not work unless every attribute but its name is replaced. How is that not an objective enough measure for anyone?

Social security is less effective than other solutions such as defined contribution retirement packages, IRA, individual savings when coupled with strong community support and a basic welfare program.
