bush is the **** stain in the underwear of America.He will not be happy until his "have's and havemore's, his base"have it all and the rest of us will feel as if we're living under hitlers rule. He must be stopped, but how do you wake up a sleeping America. We're asleep at the friggin wheel people!! WAKE UP !!!
There is no crisis. This is a scam to make Wall Street bankers rich beyond their wildest dreams and then give even more money to republicans to keep the gravy train coming.
Don't privatize social security. Leave it alone, make the rich pay more, they don't need Social security to begin with. Millions have lost good "union" jobs thanks to NAFTA, and I'm one of them. Then they can't understand why there's not enough people paying into the system. Wake up!!
Privatization of social security will further burden the American people. What will happen when people wrongly invest and lose their account balance? Will the gov't then have to bail these people out. The Thrift Savings Plan is the same as the Private Sector 40lk plans and is not the same as allowing for private accounts and to say otherwise is an out and out lie. This plan puts future generations at the mercy of the stock market and should the stock market fail, will the gov't then step in and have to start controling the market? We are moving into further and further gov't control not away from it.
Isn't the whole reason why we made up Social Security is because of the stock market crashes in Roosevlet's era? Now we're putting social security into the stock market???? I don't want to be old and poor. Thank you.
We cannot urge strongly enough that this thinly-veiled, government-sanctioned privateering be stopped. The damage to our senior citizens will be unprecedented.
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN MAKE YOUR STAND! NO PRIVITIZATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY! THIS WILL PROVE HARMFUL TO MANY GENERATIONS, INCLUDING THE CURRENT BENEFICIARIES! VOTE NO!
There are more important and critical issues that should be addressed such as health care and pension reform. Increase the salary cap for Social Security rather than destroy Social Security.
I receive SSDI and you have not even said a peep about how you are going to dispose of those of us who are at the greatest risk! Social Security and Medicare are examples of the MOST SUCCESSFUL governmental programs ever in the history of government. It has not only LIFTED countless elderly and disabled persons out of poverty, but Medicare has the lowest administrative costs of ANY insurance program in existance today! Leave it the heck alone, Sir! You are already walking on thin ice as one of the least popular presidents ever, you may have the Justice Powell program nearing completion, but please at least leave some table scraps for the rest of us!
Privatization of Social Security is 'fixing' the only solid leg of a three-legged stool. Increase minimum wage equivalent to the increases given to senators and representatives. The people are as deserving -- and probably 10 times as needy -- as their elected representatives supposedly are.
I am deeply aware that our Democracy has been stolen and replaced by Corporate Terrorists/Fascists.

I am a conservative. I am not a Republican. I am a Christian. I am not a follower of the counterfeit Bush. I am a free-thinker. I am not a relativist. I am a truth seeker. I will not follow a corrupt government, or corrupt leaders. This nation was founded as a Republic, where the government is merely a representation of the people's thoughts, and a balance against oppression.
Social security means money reserved. The social security administration should not be a crapshoot. Investments fail, therefore social security exists to make sure those of us who do not have a trust fund set-up by our royal family, may still enjoy food, shelter and clothing during our retirement.
As President Clinton, a Rhoedes Scholar had originally issued the idea of Social Security Reform, his policy was to do so during better economic times "and" not to tear-it down and destroy it, rather to enhance it. I'd pay extra taxes do so. I refuse to have my President continue this great-divide of our cultures, and demeaning Americans with fear, and scare tactics merely to give mine and future generations only security away - that of our societies only insurance that's been the only seperate institution within Wash. D.C. running flawlessly since it's great creation. We have more then several years to raise taxes when our economy is better, as I have grown weary of hearing Social Security is not secure when I know the Math and it is. It's unacceptable, myself and everyone I know of all political persuasions refuse to tolerate it. And I fully support this petition!
I am a strong-arm Liberal who voted against Bush in 2004 and was cheated in this election. I didn't get what I wanted nor did the people of Ohio and Florida that the President cheated in. I want him to stop hurting his fellow Republican voters by utilizing privitization of Social Security and to increase our minimum wage to $10.
WE KNOW BOTH S.S. & MEDICATE ARE REPAIRABLE! Increase the tax base, add a tax to "Sweat Labor"imports and modify the Cola % early retirement age! YES, BIT THE BULLET & STOP THE DECEPTION!
