1. 社保:比如美国的社保(SOCIAL SECURITY). 实际上在这几十年里,每届政府都想把它私有化,因为盈利率太低,只是由于政治原因动它不得. 现在的加利福尼亚州,社保已经快把政府挤破产了!从每个人的工资里拿13%,用来做保险基金. 他的效率不可能比每个人运用这笔钱的效率高,
2. 社会保险:另外,我们到了60岁有可能退休不是因为我们已经辛辛苦苦攒够了钱,而是因为美国老年保健医疗制度(Medicare)可以为我们支付大部分的医疗费,同时我们每个月还能从社会保险(Social Security)获得不少的收入.
3. 社会福利:美国老了的福利好不是政府白给的,都是自己付的,我们工资里要交所有401k,还会自己给自己买保险. 美国很多人70多了还在工作就是因为太早兑现自己的社会福利(social security)要交太多的税给国家.
