*'s SS Plan is Discriminatory Against Women
Social Security as it stands is the great equalizer. Regardless of man or woman it's there for everyone.
If *'s plan were to see fruition, women lose big time:

-Women who work make less than men in the same careers.

-Women live longer than men.

-Women who are homemakers will be dependent on their spouses for retirement and if the spouse dies, they get nothing.

2. Yes, you're right -
I was thinking in percentages though - and about talking points to use when discussing this issue with women. Yes, there are men who would be left out too.
