POOREST FACE MOST RISK ON SOCIAL SECURITY (msnbc wapost.com)

No group of Americans would be affected more by President Bush's Social Security plan than those earning the least. Just ask 46-year-old Brent Allen.

Allen, who recently lost his job at a Massachusetts paper mill, faces a retirement financed exclusively by the money he has been paying into the Social Security system for the better part of 30 years. Like nearly half the U.S. population, he has no pension or savings to speak of. And his brief flirtations with the stock market have largely flopped.

So Allen, who lives on less than $15,000 a year in disability payments from Social Security and income from his live-in girlfriend, is distrustful of Bush's plan to allow workers to divert a portion of their payroll taxes into personal investment accounts.

1. It's disgusting-- it's such BS, too

There is NO crisis-- nothing that can't be tweaked.

And I'm beginning to think that * is beginning to realize his evil plan ain't gonna fly.

It just galls me how this bunch can be so blatantly inhumane to the rest of us-- cutting off all our resources and leaving us to die.

They're a bunch of sick, sadistic freaks. Really sick.

2. yeah, was thinking...

um... I believe that this can slowly be corrected if they stop SPENDING THE F'ING SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS ON OTHER THINGS, and then work on way to lower spending on MILITARY CRAP and refunding the needs of the people...


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGERING!
