Fifty-three percent of Americans say they oppose a proposal that would
"allow workers to invest part of their Social Security taxes in the
stock market or in bonds, while the rest of those taxes would remain in
the Social Security system." Just 44% favor this. These results are
nearly identical to those measured in late April.



I wonder how these numbers compare to the percentages of people with at
least some money in the stock market or mutual funds?


I'm in favor of private accounts, and they'd be here already if Bush had
presented them properly. All that was needed was an expansion and
relaxation of IRA and 401k plans and contributions, funded by enabling a
dollar for dollar deduction off of income taxes due.

I agree. But we should get to keep some of the FICA that we currently pay
out if we're never going to get Social Security anyhow. That's all Bush
is proposing.

That will never happen. That plan would 1) take money out of the general
revenue 2) Only benifit the rich

The plan Bush proposed for the general public is what Congressional
employees are getting now. A poll should ask if they would like the same
plan government workers get. Most would vote for that plan. As soon as the
Bush plan is mentioned they say no because the Democrats are very good at
misleading their own.
