Communism an 'Exaggerated Fear'? Social Security a 'Right'? We Have Jack Lew's College Thesis

In his 1978 Harvard University honors thesis, current treasury secretary nominee and White House chief of staff Jacob “Jack” Lew wrote that Social Security payments should be a guaranteed right, regardless of whether the program’s “trust fund” contains enough money to distribute to beneficiaries.

And progressive income taxes, he argued — not payroll taxes — should be used to fund the program to the point where America would guarantee benefit payments beyond what taxpayers have paid into the system.

“Old age and Medicare benefits are guaranteed as a matter of right,” he noted, “even though many recipients draw more benefits than they have paid in contributions.”

His thesis has a lot in common with other well known socialists' theses...like Billary and Moochelle.

This is a resume enhancer for Dims.

East German government records found after the fall of the Berlin Wall showed,among many other things,that one in eight East Germans were Stasi informants.Children informed on their parents.PARENTS informed on their CHILDREN.Add to that the automatic machine guns positioned the entire length of the wall and you know that there was no exaggeration involved.President Reagan understood that.Even JFK understood it.

I'll never forget the scene in "The Lives of Others" where Dreyman discovers his Stasi files after the fall of the Wall, it was a huge pile.

Jack Lew versus a British Loo. Both the same - full of crap

[TBP]

This Administrtion is crawling with Red Diaper Doper Babies and other enemies of America, so I would be surprised if Lew held any other view.
