For today's Democratic Party sees more and more of its liberal forefathers public-enslaving programs going by the wayside, the primary reason for their near-uniform intractability when facing the prospect of personal and privately owned Social Security accounts for all Americans who desire them.

Social Security, in its present form, will one day join the ranks of other socialized programs created by Democrats during their golden days, like massive government-sponsored public works, Keynesian economics, and the welfare-state that was the "Great Society."

Democrats know that these institutions of socialism cannot stand up to an enlightened and informed society, and they hear the bell tolling for their most enduring legacy: Social Security.

It is the thought of millions of people actually deciding for themselves their own economic future--without the suffocation of government--that drives the Democratic Party of today to react to Social Security reform as Dracula reacts to the cross.

The debate over Social Security will rage on for months to come. If you listen hard, and cut through the rhetorical fog, you will hear FDR's last great socialistic remedy come ever-so-slowly crashing down, thereby freeing those who desire a remedy for economic independence in old-age, as opposed to government dependency for the masses.

While the rest of the country views Social Security as the main economic problem of our time, Democrats cannot help but see it as the premiere socialist program of a time gone by. Socialism Security will die a slow death, but die it will. RIP.
