Allow withdrawing Soc. Sec. funds for transfer into an IRA
Social Security is a form of individual welfare not authorized in the Constitution. The Constitution Party advocates phasing out the entire Social Security program, while continuing to meet the obligations already incurred. Until the current Social
Security system can be responsibly phased out, we propose that:
The Social Security tax must not be a "rainy day" fund which politicians can pirate, or from which they can borrow to cover their errors and pay for their excesses.
Individuals
who have contributed to Social Security be allowed to withdraw those funds and transfer them into an IRA or similar investments under the control of the individual contributor.
Earning limitations on persons aged 62 and over be removed, so that they
may earn any amount of additional income without placing their benefits at risk.
We support the right of individuals to choose between private retirement and pension programs, either at their place of employment or independently.
