I actually LOVE this. Hasn't the Democrat Party always relied on young people as a solid part of their base? Not if they keep up this "silly" nonsense.

I enroll people in their company retirement plans. Every week, I speak to dozens to hundreds of workers, of all ages. One of the first things I ask them is "Why do we need to save for retirement? Why do we have 401(k) plans?"

The first answer I get, almost every meeting, is: "Because Social Security won't be there!"

I have talked with thousands of real Americans over the past couple of years about their retirement, and I have not met a single person under the age of 40 who has ANY confidence that they will ever see a DIME from Social Security, unless something drastic is done.

If the Republicans would do a better job with SS reform, we could make huge inroads with the 18-30 crowd, even more than what we already have.

Saving SS cannot be done by privatization, that will only enrich the stock brokering firms. The SS funds collected need to be managed by professionals just as all RETIRMENT FUNDS are managed. Now, if the government is going to collect the funds, and use it on other programs, the government will be breaking the laws! Private companies pension funds are always protected from the dirty hands of top company managers! That should be applied to our government as well. If we don't collect enough money to give the promised benefits, then it is soooo simple; collect more money or give less benefits. Einstein couldn't come up with a simpler solution.
