You won't, but you can be sure they have sorts of little skits, catch phrases and scare tactics about how the other guys plan will ruin the country.

Am aware of that.  But surely there must be some kind of proposal to keep Social Security afloat that the dems have in mind.

actually back during the campaign Gores proposal was his 'lock box' plan.  basicly hands off of social security. no low interest loans from social security for your freind to default on.


btw- if you'r planing on social security for your survival after retirement. you're screwed.  doesn't matter who gets elected they will eventually bleed it dry.

Isn't Dubya planning a war that will cost over $50 billion? A war that, unlike the Gulf War of 1991, won't be subsidised by the Middle Eastern oil producers? A war that is very likely to be only fought by the UK and US?

Well, I see there is no response. So I can only agree that the individual that earns the money paid to Social Security should have control for his or her own benefit over part of it.  It's the only fair thing to do.  Just think of the weath that could be created by a minimum wage earner that could be passed on to his family at his death.  As it is now the poor have no chance to obtain wealth of any kind due to taxation!

As the length of life varies according to race perhaps the current Social Security system is a racist program!

If by that you mean that the poor will never obtain wealth because they pay high taxes then I disagree. The poor pay very little in taxes, even percentage wise. It is the middle class that are bearing the heaviest tax burden and these that are unlikely to obtain wealth because of it.
