Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) says Social Security should never be privatized and would like to roll back the retirement age to 65. He talk a lot about what he opposes but never acknowledges there's a reason for concern.
There was a time when his website contained the paragraph below. Recent attempts to locate it on his new website were fruitless.
"I see a country where all citizens can retire with full benefits at age 65, where Social Security will never become privatized, and where retirement years won't land in the hands of the stock market….My platform is centered upon a non-negotiable commitment to preserve Social Security against all assaults. I stand to return full Social Security benefits to senior citizens at age 65-a rollback from the present age of 67. In addition, I staunchly oppose all efforts to privatize Social Security, thus diverting payroll tax dollars into individual accounts. I am against raising the retirement age, against raising the cap on taxable wages, and against means-testing for benefits."
