Very good. It doesn't, of course, condense Michael's more complex argument but appeals directly to those who for whatever reason and at whatever level of understanding _do_ want to keep social security.

The difference between propaganda (Michael's argument) and agitation (perhaps your slogan) is relevant here. But there's still the matter of finding or creating the context in which it makes sense for a group of peole to spread your slogan arund.
