opinion: rants & raves

I'm sure I'm not the only one to see through
the bush social security scam. why isnt the
media at least mentioning that, perhaps, the
reason bush wants to privatize retirement
accounts is because that means the entire
population will be investing their money in
the market (i.e. corporations) instead of
keeping it in the social security trust fund?

of Course big biz wants that money.

obviously, they dont have enough yet.

sure, that's what we need. put our retirement
money into a volatile unregulated market where
companies come and go like roaches on the
baffroom floh. so, what happens when youre
reaching retirement age and a couple of the
companies in your portfolio suddenly go
belly up and the next sound you here is
your bubbling bucks going down the drain?

and why dont we hear our congressmen talk
about this little flaw in the ointment?
