Social Security The Great Ponzi Scheme is a call to arms, raising awareness regarding how both Democratic and Republican administrations have abused funds collected directly from citizens' paychecks intended as contribution to the Social Security system not as funding for pet projects.

"I'm a professional fraud investigator. I know a fraud when I see one ... And what's happened to our Social Security system is an out and out fraud," said Read, who has also authored Principles Of Security Consulting and Maximum Security … Defusing the Threat.

Read, a U.S. Air Force and law enforcement veteran, has conducted complex financial fraud investigations as part of The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office Bureau of Criminal Investigation and as a consultant for Fortune companies, law offices and accounting firms since 1993.

Smith is a financial advisor who has helped clients make retirement, financial and insurance decisions since 1975. "We wrote this book to share with the public what's currently wrong with the Social Security system and what we can do as voters and taxpayers to fix it," he said.

"Clients have often told me that they don't think Social Security will be available for them when they retire," said Smith. "But it should be!"

Social Security The Great Ponzi Scheme outlines what needs to be done to make sure taxpayers' investments remain available to them when they are ready to retire.
