In this book Rita Ricardo Campbell translates the arcane intricacies of Social Security into terms intelligible to lay readers. She thereby fills the long-standing need for a lucid, up-to-date, authoritative guide to the system. She not only examines the gulf between how the sytem ideally should work and how it actually does work, but also offers incisive, realistic proposals for overdue reforms. Social Security is a subject no one can afford to ignore or fail to understand. At its inception the maximum tax per person was $60 per year; today its almost $2,000. Thirty-two million individuals currently receive benefits, and 90 percent of the workforce pays Social Security taxes; nearly one-half pay more in social security than in federal income tax. For those who seek an intelligent analysis of Social Security Campbell's book will be welcome and invaluable.
Using numerous graphs & well documented facts, analyzes Social Security within the broader context of the Federal government's distended purview, its increasingly burdensome financial commitments, & its actions that debase the Dollar's purchasing power as an instrument of Federal policy. Essential reading for every concerned citizen who wants to understand the potentially lethal financial consequences of a national debt soaring out of control.
A step-by-step guide to getting Social Security benefits for you and your family. Peterson gives you the practical information you need to make the most of the program, and make smart decisions about retirement.
The authors convincingly rebuff the 20-year assault on the United States welfare state, launched by the left and the right. They argue that America's "insurance-opportunity"-oriented welfare is compatible with two basic U.S. ideological principles: rugged individualism and mutual support. The authors systematically dismantle arguments, used in the assault, that U.S. welfare is economically undesirable, unaffordable, and ungovernable; and successfully defend America's welfare achievements while correcting and dispelling popular misconceptions and myths about it. The authors reject comprehensive reform but promote workable incremental reforms, compatible with America's fundamental ideological beliefs, to specific welfare programs. ISBN 0-465-05969-4: $22.95.
