>From the Cato Institute's Social Security Project
<http://www.socialsecurity.org>:

"Since blacks and the poor have shorter life spans than whites and high-income earners, Social Security transfers money from blacks to whites and from the poor to the rich, a reverse Robin Hood program. Since the median life expectancy for a black male born today is only 65.8 years, half of all black men will never collect a single retirement check from Social Security. Only a personalized Social Security system can end this discrimination."
