Congressman Young voted at least four times against stating that Social Security should never be privatized. Young’s vote could allow our social security money to be funneled into private accounts, where Wall Street firms could reap billions in fees. He is also on record calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” You can review the video here.
