Social Security. Social =not private. Shared risk makes it secure
Social Security.

Social = we are all in this together. Security = everyone helps with everyone else's benefits, so that no one is left out in the cold.

Individual is the opposite of social. Private is the opposite of social. Individual Private Accounts are the exact opposite of Social Security. They are neither "social", nor are they "secure".

Bush is trying to destroy OUR Social Security. His plan would harm helpless older people who can no longer care for themselves. It is cruel, heartless and could only be dreamed up by a petty person utterly consumed with greed and avarice and completely lacking in compassion, i.e., Dubya.

1. Bush
Isn't this typical Republican law making? Who the hell cares as long as more Republican's get rich? It makes me sick to my stomach knowing that in 35 years when I want to retire, there will be nothing because of Bush's spending.

That's the corporate hope... And Bozo, is their corporate spokesman, puppet, shill, what ever one wants to call it.

We can't let them get their foot in the door with Social Security, or it will truly be all over, forever, (and that's the republican plan).
