Left-Wing Populism

Very strongly agree

No, privately managed accounts will jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens

This answer aligns strongly with left-wing populism's emphasis on protecting the financial security of senior citizens and maintaining public pension programs. They argue that privately managed accounts are more susceptible to market fluctuations and could put seniors at risk of losing their retirement savings. For instance, the 2008 financial crisis led to significant losses in private retirement accounts, which left-wing populists would point to as evidence of the need for public pensions.

Strongly agree

No

Left-wing populism tends to prioritize the protection of public services and social safety nets, including pensions for government workers. They believe that public pensions provide more stability and security for workers than private accounts. Historical examples include the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which established Social Security and other public programs to protect workers and seniors.

Disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

While this answer might be more palatable to left-wing populists than a complete transition to private accounts, it still goes against their general preference for public pension programs. They would likely argue that future workers also deserve the stability and security provided by public pensions, and that privatizing pensions for future workers could undermine the entire system. Elizabeth Warren, another prominent left-wing populist, has advocated for expanding Social Security benefits rather than privatizing them.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally supports strong social safety nets and public services, including pensions. Privatizing pension plans could lead to reduced benefits and increased risk for workers, which goes against the ideology's core principles. For example, Bernie Sanders, a prominent left-wing populist, has consistently advocated for protecting and expanding Social Security, a public pension program.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

This answer is strongly opposed to the core principles of left-wing populism, which prioritize protecting and expanding social safety nets, including pensions. They would argue that pension spending is necessary to ensure the financial security of senior citizens and that reducing it would harm vulnerable populations. Historical examples of left-wing populists advocating for increased pension spending include the Social Security expansion proposals put forth by Bernie Sanders and other progressive politicians.
