I just don't see the purpose.

Is BUSH going to actually advoate SS reform that says blacks get it at age X and black females get it at Y, but white men don't get it for 10 years later.

Or some pay a higher percentage because they are an asian man instead of a hispanic women.

If that is the 'logical' end to raising this arguement I think BUSH just stepped into it.. BIG TIME.

Again, if we start this with SS... if we start defining benetifts and payments based on race and sex... why not do it with Welfare? Why not with public Schooling? If a certain race or sex can be STATISTICALLY shown to follow a pattern, do we change that law TOO?

Do we say since white asian men rarely make use of Welfare, should white asian men be exempt from that portion of their Taxes?

What if it is statistically shown that 'white catholics' hardly EVER make use of the public school system. They go to private school, so should all 'white catholics' be expemt from paying towards the public school system???

Seriously... this idea is SO STUPID, I can't beleive Bush echoed it.

He BETTER drop this BS now.. its BIG LOOSER.

Where have you been hiding out? Bush's plan is for private personal accounts to supplement/replace SS. Those accounts are assets that can be passed on to heirs, rather than just having the government swallow it up, which is esentially what happens under the current system.

Bush's proposal doesn't change who gets benefits when.

Hold your horses free, Bush isn't advocating anything of the kind and he is pointing out the fact that one class of people pay the same into the system as other classes but don't live as long so don't collect the same out of they system. Neal Boortz has been hammering this point for years.

Bush is advocating ownership so that the system is fair to everyone.

I don't think he or any sane conservative would/will. Sounds like a NAACP/Jackson/Sharpton plank along the lines of "reparations".

I do think you may have misunderstood his point however. The point being that blacks are disproportionately the victims of this Ponzi scheme because they do pay as much in but because of the shorter life span, aren't around to see it come back. Therefore, let's privatize the SS system so that everybody, including blacks, can take control of their own lives & futures. Do what they think is best with their money, instead of having Algore & his ilk be their benevolent guardians making the decisions for them/us.
