So what!
Give the rest of us the opportunity to opt out. That is all that Bush asked for in his social security privatization plan. Social security is privatized for state and government workers (clergy also). If it is good enough for state and government workers, it is good enough for the rest of us.
Are you a protected government employee who can opt out? Maybe you are protecting your turf here. Please be honest and indicate the stake that you have in the current unfair situation.
I am a state employee who is the social security mess. I just want out. I will even give up my benefits now just so I can start saving on my own.
