thanks , St. My opinion is that is should be voluntary. Those idiots who think they can get rich investing it, go right ahead. If they do well, congrats. If they fall on their rear and end up broke, thats their problem. Im doing my part to insure that I'm ok, but Id like to have the nest egg to help things along. thats all

KrazyJethro,
You say we can no longer afford to allow the government to handle anything financial. Just wondering why? Its not because Bush said SS is in a crisis is it? Because if you believe that, then I've got some WMDs I'd like to sell you...
Your compensation is based on what you do not what you need. What the hell is so hard to understand about that?
Therefore, that work should be paying enough to meet those family needs. Period

By taking the responsiblity for thier future out of thier hands the government has contributed to a culture of "live for today don't worry about tomorrow" It needs to be scrapped entierly.
You cannot will this money to your family upon death.

I resent the statement that any financial misfortune people encounter is due to their own negligence and because they failed to think of tomorrow. I know plenty of people who scrimped and saved over the years and are suffering right now because they lost their savings in the market. Its kind of hard to plan for catastrophic injury or illness.
One question for all you small govt. people why is it the responsibility of the govt. to protect you physically but not to look after the financial well being of its citizens?
Also why is private industry more efficient then government?

No one ever said that the government should not look after the welfare of it's citizens.
