Abstract: The stagnant wages, worsening distribution of income, and slower economic growth that have resulted from neoliberalism have weakened Social Security’s future viability. Moreover, the prediction of a future “crisis†for Social Security is based on the assumption of continued antiworker neoliberal policies, and neoliberal policy proposals to “save†Social Security have provided a rationale for redistributing tax burdens away from the rich and further promoting the neoliberal agenda.
