That's definitely true - there's a lot of politicking going on here. Certainly the raiding of social security must be stopped and both parties have done it. However: the whole point of Social Security is to provide a guaranteed income and thus prevent the costs associated with penniless seniors. The main reason for Dems should be because the State should take care of its citizens. The main reason for Republicans should be because they don't like dealing with frozen dead old people in front of their houses' - then they'd have to pay to get them moved off to the dump. :-) If more savings is what the Bush Administration wants, they why not just add some new types of tax free savings accounts? Why privatize SS? It messes with the whole point of it in favor of a marketing gimmick. * If you don't like SS, then kill it. * If you want Americans to retire with more $$ then encourage it with new tax free savings plans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:143189 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
