"The Kerry/Edwards/NYTimes campaign has decided they can't convince voters with ringing endorsements so they'll scare old people to death."

The democrats will stop at nothing to win this election, which includes lying, cheating and exploiting. Why didn't they quote Edwards when he told a crowd that if Kerry is elected the cripple would walk? Now that's a story!! I did hear the news on FOX. Are there any other stations covering it?

I sure hope that is the "Gospel" truth! It works in Texas!!
Go to: http://www.ncpa.org/ba/ba215.html and see how well Privatized Social Security works in Galveston, Brazoria and Matagorda counties. A $50.000 per year would receive $6.843 per month compared to $1,302 from Social Security!!!
Which system would you be opted for???

Well .. just what "town" was he going to ..??

Seriously, the President has been talking about this for over a year. I find it amazing that Kerry has just now picked up on it. The President's plan is to allow younger workers to begin to put a portion of their SS money into a private account.

The President has also said several times that those who are currently receiving (or about to receive) payments from SS .. are NOT A PART OF THE PROGRAM.

WHAT MORE DO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ..?? I'm glad my son (who has a young family) can begin now to have money put into a money market or 401 type of plan, and when he retires, he will have 3-4 times the amount of money he would have if he had stuck with just SS alone.

What the dems don't like about it is two-fold. First they don't like it because it means they lose more control over people's lives - especially after they retire. Secondly, they don't like it because IT MEANS THERE's LESS MONEY COMING INTO THE TREASURY FOR THEM TO SPEND. That can also mean that since the money usually paid into the treasury will no longer be there - a whole bunch of trimming of govt will be necessary.

No wonder Kerry's "going to town" .. the barn is about to be looted.

In a word, "yes."
