He explained that this initiative, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, aims to encourage investment by allowing parents to open tax-advantaged savings accounts for children. Cruz believes that as these accounts grow, public support will shift towards allowing individuals to manage a portion of their own payroll taxes, similar to Australia's superannuation system, ultimately transforming how Social Security is perceived and managed.
