Thus to ensure happiness for all, we need to force people to do the right thing and one of those things is saving for retirement. If the government doesn't make them, they won't, and then one way or another people like me who do save will end up paying for them anyway. Looks what's happening right now in the banking world: government allowed "investors" to take ridiculously huge risks with insanely crazy amounts of leverage and now those of us who didn't do that have to bail them out. People who stupidly bought houses will probably get bailed out. By me. So what's the lesson? The majority of people are too dumb to competently manage their own money. The real question is what is the best, and fairest, way to keep an economy going and keep these simpletons decomposing on my city sidewalks? The answer is government management and regulation. I wish it weren't so, but there ain't no education in the second kick of the mule. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:286502 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
