Reply #22: Plan "B" means that others (elderly and Disabled) will be "shorted"

in their current benefits. If even SOME are allowed to take their SS dollars and invest privately, others already receiving benefits are short-changed. That doesn't HAVE to happen, and SHOULDN'T to the Elderly or Disabled. Since the current Program is NOT in serious trouble, there is NO reason at all to begin dismantling it.

We need to stand together on this, and not "buy" their hype. If people want to invest privately "on the side" (IN ADDITION TO their SS funds), that already IS their perogative. But what makes America, what other nations SUPPOSEDLY admire is our compassion and care for those in time of need (abroad we call it "Humanitarian Aid").
