Max Pappas commented:

“FreedomWorks is proud to support the great work that Representative Barrett is doing, and we’re working together to save Social Security by creating personal retirement accounts that workers own and control. We’re just getting started in the effort to let all Americans understand the problems with the current system and the benefits of personal accounts. It’s time to let American workers have the choice to build nest eggs that they can own, control, and pass on to their loved ones.”
