“Social Security is what happens when Ponzi meets Marx.”

By the way, if you’re not listening to the Rollye James Show week nights from 10pm to 1am (Eastern Time), you’re missing out on lots of pithy, intelligent talk. Rollye puts on a fun show and she’s on XM channel 165 as well as a slew of terrestial broadcast stations. You can also listen live at her website. And now XM is running re-airs of her show on weekends, too.

The government will give you your money in the form of tax deductions. The money can only be invested with government approved investment houses.
With all Americans funnelling their money into a few chosen investment houses, there will be a jackpot of commissions to be made and ” the rich get richer”.

That “rich get richer” line is such a Marxist cliche. Does it even belong in a free society? It implies one of two thing: 1) that people who are rich got that way by stealing it from the “virtuous poor”; no, it couldn’t be that they got rich by offering a product or service that people willingly paid for, or 2) that you are entitled to a portion of their property a la theft via government-sanctioned taxation. Either way, your ideological home is in some People’s Republic of Dunghole, not the “land of the free and home of the brave.”

BTW, if you really had the courage of your convictions, you’d attach your name or online identity to your post instead of quivering behind the “anonymous” label. This is a typical collectivist tactic: make silly ccomments but don’t own up to them.

Two things can happen, Appliance Repair Man-San: privatization could result in a huge boom, with all that money going to capital investment.

On the other hand, the rotten bunch running the New World Order right now are slavering at the prospect of looting the biggest pension plan in history.

Once you invest in their stock, after all, the money belongs to them.
