How to kill Social Security: Be ignorant about it

I'm writing this in response to a few of the comments my recent Social Security article attracted. It seems that despite years of public discussion — from the Bush push of 2005, to Obama's suspected embrace of a Peterson cat food future — many of us still don't know what Social Security is and how it's been used.

And that's how they'll kill Social Security — by turning our ignorance against us.
