Sorry, but there's is no such thing as "working poor".
THere's alot of people that make anywhere from 30,000-100,000 that live paycheck to paycheck. Cry me a river. Either your stupid or not. If your smart, you want to try something new and maybe have a social security when your older. It doesn't hurt to try something new.

It's only a tough sell to the ignorant, and to people who don't even want there to be a private sector. Namely the democratic party.

"Brenda Ellis's day begins at 6:30 a.m., when she rousts her 11-year-old son, Imani, from bed, hustles him into the kitchen for breakfast and to the school bus by 7. Tianna, 13, and Dikia, 17, quickly follow."

Obviously, investing in a private retirement account would solve her problems.

Sorry I missed it in the article ... where's Dad ?

This paragraph here summed it up for me. "At age 20, it's not like Samisha Taylor is dead-set against private accounts. When she heard them explained, she shrugged and suggested they may be a good idea. But she can be forgiven for not having thought about it much. Almost everyone I have debated this issue with haven't the slightest clue as to what they are talking about. Mention to them that the Presidents position is that the money saved and accrued in this private account is all theirs and can be passed on to their children when they die if they desire I always get "Thats a lie." or "I didn't hear that." My favorite retort to union members is telling them that their money is already in the market at risk. The kicker is they will see very little of the gains if at all. Please do not punish me or my families future due to the inane ramblings of the misinformed.

THe population is becoming a top heavy pyramid and the scheme can't perform to historic standards, that's the bottom line.

These "working poor" are beyond selfish. As long as they get their who cares about their kids!!! Yes, we should all remain poor and destitute because these fools make such poor choices.

[Texas Eagle]

I see. Millions of intelligent people are going to be denied the opportunity to manage a portion of their Socialist Security withholdings because of a few twits like Brenda Ellis.

Perhaps she should go on the web and look at the federal employee retirement "Thrift Savings Plan". If it is good enough for bureaucrats and professional, career politicians, it's good enough for anybody!

This headline is ridiculous!

How in the world is the "working poor" going to grasp these somewhat complicated issues of demographics. They can't -- and most don't want to if they could.

For them, the only option -- actually for all on the left -- is to make SS a pure government entitlement welfare program and then increasingly tax people who actually pay taxes (unlike THEM) to pay for it...ceasing to be a pay in to get out program all together!

As it was created, SS has to fail when the number of retirees gets REAL close to the number of workers...as it will be very soon.

"Bush Social Security plan proves tough sell among working poor."

The working poor can't afford to buy into Bush's plan because they have blown all their money in the Dem's shell game.

""I don't know what's going on with it," she said one night at a tax clinic in Southeast D.C. "I just know I have these three accounts, so I just say, 'Let's hope and pray. Let's hope and pray it's not going into Enron. Let's hope and pray it's not going into Tyco.' It's just hard to absorb all I'm supposed to absorb."

I hear stupid goes to the bone. She ain't doin my taxes!!

[RasterMaster]

Guess she never took the time to send for a "Social Security Statement" to see what little the Panzi scheme will provide. But then again, maybe she has aquired a taste for dog food.

[joesnuffy]

The problem is still government waste and wealthy politicans
continually feathering their own nests from the taxl payers wallets and having stolen from SS in the first place..

Big government is not the answer its the problem...

[HankReardon]

There are still poor people in America? No way! How can this be? How many trillions of dollars have been spent to "help" the poor? How can they still be poor?

[HankReardon]

Anyone of healthy body and mind fortunate enough to be born in the greatest, most prosperous nation the world has ever known during the greatest times the world has ever known that still "can't make it" get's no pity from me. They get only, and fully deserve my complete derision.
