Chile's private pension program is a huge success!
If the intention was to force people to save for retirement we would have followed a similar model, forced contributions where the money is not accessible to the government. The intention of SS and Medicare was to expand government and usurp wealth, sold much in the same way as Obamacare. Roosevelt was lying to anyone with a microphone that SS was not a tax but a savings program and then having his lawyer scum arguing to the supreme court that it was indeed a tax.
