They can all kiss my ass!

With his state of the union address coming up, Bush will be planning on taking up his stance on privatizing Social Security once again. I hope people really pay attention to this because if this were to happen, you, your parents, your children, will loose over 46% of the benefits.

Now I know as well as you that SS was not set up to be a retirement plan, but if any of you have older parents on SS, or if your reading this and are on SS, you probably already know that planning a retirement plan, and actually having one is two different things. We can plan for it, we can save, we can invest… but if you have other family members, you’ve probably had to help someone out at sometime or another and that usually comes out of your ‘plan’. Besides – you’ve put money into SS all of your life, it’s yours, do you really want it taken from you?

All I know is it’s OUR future he’s messing with, not his, because he won’t get SS nor will he ever need it, so it’s easy for him to throw almost half of our benefits away. I’d like to see our politicians live off of what the average American has to live off of.
