Why does Sharron Angle running against Reid want to privatize Social Security and raise the retirement age?

She obviously isn't planning on winning. There needs to be reform for senior citizen entitlements but privatizing the entitlements isn't the way to go. If they raise the retirement age, there will be a larger welfare class. Not many people, especially in construction, are productive in their late 60's and 70's. A do nothing politician can hold the job forever since they do nothing. Therefore, I don't listen to a politicians argument as to why the retirement age should be raised. The reform could be a simple as making a constitutional amendment that the SS fund cannot be touched other than to senior citizens that paid into the fund. This way, the money won't be pissed away by politicians.
