The message that Democrat and Republican candidates deliver to the American people is an insulting one. You are a bad and irresponsible people. If you were caring and compassionate, as your ancestors were, we wouldn't need Social Security. Your ancestors lived without it for 150 years, but they could be relied upon to honor their parents voluntarily. You, on the other hand, must be forced to do so because, again, you are a bad and irresponsible people.
Libertarian candidates have a much more positive message to the American people.
We Libertarians believe in you. This is why we call for the repeal, not the reform, of Social Security. We have no doubt that you would honor your mother and father on a voluntary basis and that you would assist others who had nowhere else to turn. We believe that freedom would, indeed, work. Yet, many Libertarians are now calling for various plans to save or reform Social Security rather than simply repealing it.
