Chuck crawl out from under the rock.

Yet another intellectual, issue-oriented remark.

Their used to be employer sponsored
pension programs that most non-military, non-union and non-government
people
were eligible to participate in.

And they were never funded by diverting Social Security taxes.

Correct, but when the Social Secrity taxes, aren't you supposed to say
contributions like a good socialist, were increased in the eighties the
private employers decided to drop their contributions to your pension plan
and so that they could pay the increased taxes being levied by the increase
in Social Security contributions.

We all know that there is a major problem with the social security system
and Pres. Bush is proposing a solution, while Kerry just wants to let the
problem get worse and worse everyday by not doing anything.

Bush's solution is to take a program that is gasping for breath due to an
imbalance between income and outgo, and cut income substantially. If you
had a
headache, and Bush suggested you solve the problem with a guillotine,
would you
consider that a "solution"?

The guillotine solves the problem, no more headache.

By the way, are you and Jon Smith the same guy? Only reason I ask:

Their used to be employer sponsored

Thanks for the complement!
