"Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, Estonia, Ireland, New Zealand, Britain, Denmark, Iceland, Australia, and Chile,"

How many of those top ten have already privatized their state-run retirement programs? I know Chile, Britain, and Australia did. How can we expect to be in the top ten as long as the government confiscates 15% of our income for an alleged retirement program that is bound to go broke if we ever allow the vast majority of those "contributing" to collect benefits?

Reform Socialist Security and we would be number 1.

"Reform Socialist Security and we would be number 1."

I don't see a mass exodus from these shores. 290,000,000 and rising, and that isn't counting 20,000,000 or so illegal aliens.

The world is full of gloom and doomers.

Can we do better? Certainly. Are we the best there is? Yes we are.

BTW ... you may appreciate this url. It is a history of S/S.
