Not "privatize"... "Corporatize"!

[Tamyrlin79]

We should reframe this debate for people by attacking the Republicans frow wanting to "Corporatize Social Security." I think it might give us an edge in that debate by reframing the language. Also applicable to other areas where they support privatization.

1. Very fine idea and much more accurate. The Corporations are more

concerned with selling stock that producing product or service which requires employees. They seem loath to the idea of having (and paying ) employees.

Since they have pretty much already conned most Americans out of their discretionary investment income for stocks, they need to find new ways to get investment $$ from the little people.

Getting their political puppets elected via having them pose as holding the high ground on manufactured moral issues the Corporations will have the puppets feed payroll taxes directly into stock purchases, making CEOs look like they actually do something.

Corporatize Social Security is indeed truth in advertising.
