National Review: Social Security Privatization a Winning Issue
January 8, 2002
National Review, one of the nation’s leading conservative
voices, has urged Republicans to embrace Social Security privatization as a winning campaign issue. Praising the final report
of the President’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security, the
magazine notes that many Republican congressmen have been slow
to embrace the commission’s work. However, the magazine
editorializes:
They are making a mistake. Democrats are
going to tag Republicans as enemies of Social
Security and the elderly no matter what.
Instead of responding defensively, they should
rally the majority of voters who support private
investment accounts. They know that it’s
better to own wealth than to rely on politicians’
promises—especially at a time of economic
uncertainty. Investors have gotten through a
bare market without panicking. Republicans
should follow their example.
