Social Security as a Statement of Values

I posted this at the bottom of a longer message, but it deserves it’s own post.

Let’s view Social Security as question of our society’s and our individual values. According to Rev. Michael J. Kavanaugh,

In the last election, there was a great deal of discussion about values. That’s a good thing, except those values related to only two areas — sexual areas including gay marriage and abortion. The value of caring for the common good is a Judeo-Christian value, and an American value that goes back beyond our founding.

The responsibility that we have to maintain Social Security — not private or personal security, but Social Security — are values we must hold on to.
