More Social Security
David Lazurus writes again about the dangers of Bush's Social Security "plan".
"Yet the only measure Bush has advocated so far is establishment of private accounts that would place greater responsibility on ordinary workers to prepare for their retirement years.
Businesses, in turn, have embraced the president's plan, believing that private accounts will shield them from higher payroll taxes. A major business group says it will spend well over $5 million to persuade a wary public that private accounts are the way to go.
The upshot is that the two players in the Social Security equation with the most resources -- the government and employers -- are distancing themselves from working Americans, who are being asked to bear a greater risk for meeting their retirement needs."
We are going to be screwed if we allow Bush to move forward on this. Keep in mind, Bush only helps big business, oil and fundamentalist wackos. He is not looking out for my best interest or yours. This is an issue we need to contact our representatives in Congress about. Bush will not listen to us, but perhaps our representatives will. Use this link if you are unsure who your representative is.
