Public support is dropping for Obama's plans to redistribute wealth and have the 50% of the people pay taxes support the 50% of the people who don't pay any taxes.  Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters say working Americans should be allowed to opt out of Social Security and provide for their ownretirement planning.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% disagree and do not believe Americans should be able to opt out of Social Security. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure.

A majority of voters under 50 say workers should be allowed to opt out. A plurality of those over 50 disagree.

One of President Obama’s top economic advisers signaled this week that the president will try to reform Social Security before the end of his first term. Voters are also closely divided on whether this is a good idea despite news that the system may be closer to running out of money than previously reported.
