This great idea would only work if the U.S. had a functioning government.

The U.S. has a corrupt corporate controlled government.

They are not interested in strengthening Social Security.

They are only interested in syphoning the dollars out of Social Security to enrich themselves.

I do not know why people keep pretending that our government represents 'we the people'.

All branches of our government have proven time and time again they work for corporations.

Politicians and the Supreme Court put the wants of corporations above the needs of 'we the people'.
