6. You're looking at this all wrong, the money's not here
From "It's a Wonderful Life."
The money is currently propping up the deficit. It was a large part of the projected 5 trillion surplus, and I am on record saying in 2000 that money should be saved for my retirement.
Then again, so is Bush. Anyone remember the 4 dollars? Once again, he lied, and got away with it. He diverted the money to rich people and military-industrial corporations, and got away with that.
It is more like a river of money, and just like the "partial birth abortion ban" is the first step, so partial-privatization is the first step to eliminating the entire program and diverting 15% of America's wages into the hands of mutual fund managers, stock brokers, bankers, and corporations.
It is more like a giant river of money. But I understand it has long been corporate policy to screw employees out of their pensions and thus remove a huge liability from the books. Who needs retirement anyway? After all "arbeit mach frei"
