Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Sharron Angle Wants America to Get rid of Social Security
Why do so many Republicans hate America and our senior citizens.
AP:
LAS VEGAS — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Sharron Angle says the nation's Social Security system needs to be privatized, and she says it was done before in Chile.
Angle referred to the South American country on Thursday in North Las Vegas while explaining previous statements that the United States should phase out its current system.
However, the pension system established in 1981 by right-wing Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet is no longer a fully private system. Chile's system was revamped in 2008 to expand public pensions for groups left out of its system, including low-income seniors.
So Sharron Angle's platform in a nutshell:
1. Get rid of Social Security.
2. Don't do anything that might help create jobs.
3. Impose her own personal theology on our legal system.
The crazy thing isn't that some Republicans still think she can win. The crazy thing is that they want her to.
