There are lots of coherent cases against Social Security. For instance, there are far better ways to achieve the desired ends of providing a social safety net.

There are lots of coherent cases against Social Security. For instance, there are far better ways to achieve the desired ends of providing a social safety net. My favorite would be eliminating all other forms of welfare and adopting a basic income.
