		<description><![CDATA[Social security  was invented in 19th century in capitalist Germany, not in the Soviet Union. In Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and elesewhere it works fine.
BTW, on  logic prevailing here, the very idea of insurance should be abolished altogether; when you damage your car show self reliance and pay the full bill for repairs or by a new one if it is a total loss, or when a tornado  ravages your house show your pioneering spirit and rebuild it all at your own expence. Dont pay the parasites in insurance companies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it is an example of self-reliance because he didn&#039;t sit around saying &quot;I&#039;m a victim. Woe is me. I deserve a hand-out.&quot; No he didn&#039;t build the car he&#039;s driving (though he might very well have paid for it himself) but that doesn&#039;t take away from the fact that he&#039;s gotten to where he is because of personal ambition and drive. 
Using the same logic, we could also say the Super Bowl or World Series winners didn&#039;t really earn their trophies since they didn&#039;t build the stadiums they played in]]></description>
