Social Security

Neal Boortz on discussing the Democrats opposition to Social Security reform:

Why can't people see through the Democrats on this one? How in the world do you garner so much public support for the idea that in a free country it is better for you to turn over your hard-earned bucks to the government on a vague and breakable promise that some of that money will be returned to you at some time in the future .. as agreed to by politicians? How in the world can people accept this premise over the idea that your money should remain in an account owned and, to an extent, controlled by you where there is a guarantee that either you or your heirs will eventually get it all back .. with interest? Why can't people see through this? Because they're ignorant, that's why. Economically brain-dead."

"Bottom line ... Democrats wouldn't be able to defend the current Social Security system as they are if the American people had even the most basic level of economic knowledge. When you drop your child off off at your local government school next Monday .. think about it."

OUCH!
