Radio: Systemic Inequality in the Social Security Rules

by on with No Comments

Systemic inequality is when systems within society predispose an unequal outcome regardless of personal prejudice. The rules of Social Security are an example of systemic inequality.

On Tuesday, August 10, 2021, David John Marotta appeared on Radio 1070 WINA’s Schilling Show with Rob Schilling to talk about “Systemic Inequality in the Social Security Rules.”

Here is an outline of the discussion:

[0:00] Background to Social Security

[1:49] Did we know this was coming? What could have been done differently?

[3:11] Is the market too risky for retirement investments?

[6:22] Systemic Inequality in the Social Security System transfers money from Black men to white married women who never paid into the system.
