No, what we would have is a payoff to Bush's wall street contributors.

Today, if you die the day after you retire, your family gets an
insignificant death benefit.

With the Bush plan, your family gets EVERY PENNY YOU CONTRIBUTED to your
private plan.

That's the way SS is SUPPOSED to work.

Actually that is the way it was supposed to work in the past. Bush is
offering an alternative that offers real value.

It is not life insurance, it is retirement for the worker. When a retiree
dies just after retiring it balances out the retiree who collects benefits
til he is 100 years old. That's exactly how it is supposed to work.

So who says it has to work that way now?


The "who says" argument is at the 4th grade level and using it is a pretty
sure indicator of feeble intelligence and poor education. If you have any
intelligent counters to my argument let's hear them. If you don't maybe you
ought to keep your opinions to yourself.
