Scott Perry: “It is for my mother, who is already on Social Security, and it is definitely for me and for anybody who thinks he may…”

On the recordFebruary 10, 2016
It is for my mother, who is already on Social Security, and it is definitely for me and for anybody who thinks he may collect Social Security, understanding that, when we say ``entitlements,'' that is not meant to be you are entitled to it. Do you know why you are entitled to it?--because the government forced you to pay into it. They forced you to invest when it comes to Social Security, right? They forced you to invest. It might not be a good investment, but you must invest. It is important, and I think you are going to talk about this a little bit in the future of how that investment is going.
