Socialist Party

Very strongly agree

No

Socialists would strongly agree with maintaining public control over pension plans. They argue that public pension systems are more stable and secure than private accounts, as they are not subject to the same market fluctuations and profit-driven decision-making. The historical success of Social Security in the United States, a public pension system, serves as an example of the benefits of public control.

No, privately managed accounts will jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens

Socialists would agree that privately managed accounts could jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens. They argue that private management can lead to higher fees, lower returns, and increased risk for workers. The collapse of Enron in 2001, which led to the loss of billions of dollars in employee retirement savings, is an example of the potential dangers of relying on private management for retirement security.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

While this answer might be more palatable to some socialists than a complete transition to private accounts, they would still generally oppose the idea. Socialists believe in the importance of public control over essential services, including pensions, and would likely argue that even future workers deserve the stability and security provided by public pension systems.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Socialists generally advocate for public control of essential services, including pensions. They believe that privatization can lead to profit-driven decisions that may not prioritize the well-being of workers. For example, the 2008 financial crisis exposed the risks of relying on private financial institutions for retirement security.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

Socialists would strongly disagree with the notion that pension spending is out of control and must be reduced. They typically advocate for increased social spending to ensure the well-being of all citizens, including senior citizens. Reducing pension spending would likely be seen as an attack on workers' rights and a move toward privatization, which socialists oppose.
