This liberal thinks you darn well better plan to take care of yourself,
and doesn't need "Big Daddy" government to give me a 3% "allowance" to
invest.Social Security supports widows, orphans, the disabled, and the
indigent elderly. If I need to turn my financial back on that segment
of society in order to save for retirement, there's something screwed
up (and in a major way) with my personal finances.

Did you know that if they took the "cap" off of Social Security
earnings, the rate could be reduced from about 15% at present (split
between employer/employee or paid as self employment tax) to something
closer to 6-7%? There you go, several percent saved by both employee
and employer- more for investment. :-)

How is allowing the voluntary investment of 3% of an 18 year-old's withholdings
going to hurt widows, orphans, the disabled, or the indigent elderly?

Come on, Chuck. You're spreading the same kind of panic one would expect from
Kennedy or Pelosi, or Reid (who thought this was a good idea a few years ago -
wonder what changed his mind?).
