After\u00a0LewRockwell.com<\/a>\u2018s publication of my article \u201cWhy Do Some Libertarians Support Social Security?<\/a>\u201d I received emails from older libertarians criticizing me for calling for the immediate repeal of this socialist program. Their critiques can be summarized in the following three ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cFor the last several decades, I put into the system and, therefore, I have the right to get my money back.\u201d<\/li>\n

    The core principle of libertarianism is the non-aggression principle. It holds that it is morally wrong and illegitimate to initiate force against another person. It holds that a person has the right to live his life any way he wants, so long as his conduct is peaceful and non-fraudulent.<\/p>\n

    Social Security involves the forcible taking of money from a person to whom it belongs and giving it to a person to whom it does not belong. That constitutes a grave violation of libertarian principles. Under libertarianism, every person has the right to keep everything he earns and decide for himself what to do…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
