Bigger benefits for the "poor."

Hmmmmm? "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Where have I heard this before?

I agree... Nothing really memorable, just repeated his plans.

If he's worried about his popularity on the gas issue, he should have stressed that Congress has ignored his plan since 2001.

Are you going to take your Social Security? Because anyone on this thread that IS better not complain about income redistribution....

Government parasites have already stolen over $80,000 from me just for the SS Ponzi scam, and I have many years before I hit SS age, especially because it's going to keep getting pushed further and further out.

It'll collapse before then. I won't even get my $80k back that they've stolen to date, much less what they steal in the future.

How do you propose I recover the money Bush and his ilk have stolen from me?

"I think I have read the yeah sayers for SS are in the upper 70/s percent. "

Well, as has been said, robbing Peter to pay Paul will easily secure Paul's vote.

They don't care that I want a better rate of return for my money.

I'm an "old folk" NN, and I care about you and your future and don't want to see you robbed of a chance to make it good.

You are right, Kevin. Plus, he has a twinkle in his eye. He's prepared for the media.

I think he means a bigger percentage of what is paid in for the poor, than for the rich....

I read that somewhere this afternoon.

I'm in my twenties and ticked off at Congress for denying me the right to use my money to plan for retirement.

Unbelieveable. Apparently according to the reporter we're losing in Iraq. They'll have an economy outproducing ours and the press will still be saying this 100 years from now.

We have a progressive income tax. For many years. Why are you surprised that it is a value in this country that poor get a break in a lot of ways.

because the media/press has been ignoring/lying about how he has been traveling around the country to discuss SS and energy bill

Just as they ignored terrorism through the 90s. They would rather chase Delay around, even if it means rewriting old news, than cover the issues.
