Obama: Let the free market work

Kudos to Barack Obama, who eventually decided not to accept public financing for his Presidential campaign. Tax money should not be used to fund Barack Obama's speeches - after all, if you don't plan to vote for him, why should the government force you to donate to him?

More importantly, Obama has found that he is able to raise more money outside the public campaign structure.

If Obama wins the Presidency, he should continue applying this principle. After all, most people can make more money saving for retirement on their own than they can by sacrificing a slice of their paycheck to Social Security. It naturally follows that President Obama would naturally let them opt out of public retirement financing/Social Security, right?
