The only true motive behind "privitizing" is that it will put MORE money into the oversaturated elitist hands that are running the corrupt government/corporate coup against the American. They want MORE!!!!
Stop hand-outs to Congressmen, companies that outsource our jobs, company farms; and tax cuts to the very wealthy. Social Security is not in Crisis-Mediaid is!
A ten dollar per hour minimum wage is a start, but it has to be backsed up by laws protecting American jobs. We must impose full foreign trade tariffs on any American company that outsources our jobs. We must find a way to outlaw the price rises that would occurr upon enactment of a higher minimum wage. It would benefit all of us if corporate profits were based more on sales and less on lowering production costs.
Please, increase the wage to a living wage, I have friends that can't live off what they make, and only go into debt further and further each year. Its sad that this is america.
Let Social Security reform be underwritten by a tax on consumption for extravagance and luxuries of the rich and arrogant and infamous!

Let them use all the SS money they want, as long as it is their's NOT our money. We have to work HARD for what little they think we deserve, we don't get it handed to us on a Silver platter.
NESARA NOW! END BUSHS' REGIME NOW!!!
Privatizing Social Security is another giveaway to the corporate (in this case, banking) interests, just as the Medicare Raform Bill was. And capping the earnings for FICA contributions is another giveaway to the rich. When will you people stop? Government is supposed to protect the People from theves at the top. We're good enough to die in your war, but not good enough to be treated like human beings.
It is about time that we quit auctioning off policy to the highest bidder and, in true American form, legislate fairly for all people who call the greatest country in the world their home.
Stop the privatization of Social Security. If you had to rely on Social Security checks to survive each month, you would definitely be saving it from privatization.
If you think that we have a homeless problem now, wait another 10 years when half the "Baby Boomers" who lost all of their savings on Tech stocks are living on the streets.
You pigs want corporations to get our soc sec $, so that they can steal it, as they have with the recent corporate accounting scandals. It's another way to sucker the hardworking American citizens out of any future retirement at all. You are corporate whores.
The raise in minimum wage is long overdue,it's really pathetic to think people can survive on the five and some change while fat cats like Bush don't have to worry about how or if he is going to eat or have somewhere to live.Social Security is an even bigger joke,it's terrible when the elderly(some in their 80's)have to continue to work because their meager benefits can't even see them through to another month.The rich keep getting richer while the poor have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.SICKENING!
five dollars and under to give to a worker is absolutely ridiculous. The cost of living is up, gas has skyrocketted, milk, produce, is up. How in God's name can a person survive on minimum wage. Please increase the wage and decrease poverty.
Thank you !!!
Bush & Cheney are getting rid of the middle class. It is shameful. Stop supporting their cruel policies, crooked drug programs, privatizing social security, illegal wars, rigged voting machines, pitiful treatment of soldiers, and lies, lies, lies!
Why does this administration insist on granting lavish tax cuts for the wealthy when so many hard-working Americans are seeing health care costs rise, losing earnings power and experiencing wage stagnation?
Bush needs to do something for the people of THIS country. We've been hit with a tsunami wave of lies, debt, and betrayal.
Where's OUR 350 billion dollar aid package?
There is no need to cut Social Security, and no need to change the system except to increse the aformentioned cap in this petition. The entire bush. admin. is doing great diservice to this country with it's propoganda in many areas. This conservative will not budge on this issue!
