SOCIAL SECURITY PRIVATIZATION

No organization is more responsible for the forced-march drive to privatize Social Security—stealing trillions of dollars of its funds for Wall Street accounts—than the Cato Institute, a multi-million dollar Washington, D.C. think tank. During the past 20 years, Cato has had more than a quarter of a billion dollars lavished on it in contributions by the most powerful Wall Street banks, and largest right-wing think tanks—led by the ultra-right-wing Koch group of foundations. Cato has spent this money on a host of projects intended to destroy the sovereign nation-state and implement fascist economic austerity. But the lion's share has gone into the privatization of Social Security.

Bush Denies There Is A Social Security Trust Fund!

Posted April 28, 2005

Cato Institute: Anti-Capitalist Clique
   Leads the Attack on Social Security

This article appears in the January 28, 2005 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.

by Richard Freeman

In November 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court had hardly decided by a 5-4 vote to

declare George W. Bush the winner of the Presidential election, when the network

of the Mont Pelerin Society and Wall Street firms backing the Cato Privatization

Project descended on the White House. They told Bush he needed to set up a

Presidential Commission on Social Security, because the system was in crisis.

Bush was compliant. In the first months of 2001, he announced the President's

Commission to Strengthen Social Security.

The Fake Crisis

     Economist Paul Krugman explains Bush's latest con -- social security

    By ERIC BATES  

At his tree-shaded home in Princeton,  New Jersey, Krugman took a break from working on a new

economics textbook to explain why the crisis is phony -- and what's wrong with Bush's plan "to convert

Social Security into a giant 401(k)."

The big winners of Private Investment Accounts

By Jack Rasmu

March 10, 2005

George W. Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security has nothing to do with enhancing workers’ retirement income. Rather, it is a scheme to redistribute money from the majority of people who work to the minority of people who own the banks and brokerage firms.
