This book tells the story of those efforts, and the fight to save Social Security. It is a story of greed, power, and the struggle for economic justice.

The Origins of Social Security

Social Security was created in 1935, during the Great Depression. At the time, millions of Americans were unemployed and living in poverty. Social Security was designed to provide a safety net for these Americans, and to help prevent them from falling into destitution.

Social Security has been a success story. It has helped to lift millions of Americans out of poverty, and it has provided a secure retirement for millions more. But for decades, there have been efforts to undermine and privatize the program.

The Attacks on Social Security

The attacks on Social Security began in the 1970s. At the time, the program was facing financial challenges. The number of retirees was increasing, and the number of workers paying into the system was decreasing. This led to concerns that Social Security would not be able to meet its obligations in the future.

In response to these concerns, Congress passed a series of reforms in the 1980s and 1990s. These reforms raised the retirement age, increased the amount of money that workers pay into the system, and reduced the benefits that retirees receive.

These reforms helped to stabilize Social Security's finances. But they also made the program less generous. And they paved the way for further attacks on Social Security.

The Privatization Push

In recent years, there has been a growing push to privatize Social Security. Privatization would allow workers to invest their Social Security contributions in private accounts. These accounts would be similar to 401(k) plans.

Proponents of privatization argue that it would give workers more control over their retirement savings. They also argue that it would lead to higher returns on investment.

Opponents of privatization argue that it would be risky. They point out that the stock market can fluctuate, and that workers could lose their retirement savings if the market crashes.

They also argue that privatization would be more expensive than the current system. And they worry that it would lead to lower benefits for retirees.

The Fight to Save Social Security

The fight to save Social Security is a fight for economic justice. Social Security is a vital safety net for millions of Americans. It provides retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivors benefits. And it helps to prevent millions of Americans from falling into poverty.

The attacks on Social Security are a threat to the economic security of millions of Americans. They are a threat to the American Dream.

We must fight to save Social Security. We must fight to protect the economic security of millions of Americans. And we must fight to preserve the American Dream.
