"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
SS Personal Accounts: Don't Worry, You'll Get What You Have Coming to You
Geez, what a bunch of whiners we Democrats are. Of course retirees will get back every penny of principal they put in and every penny of interest they earn on the proposed private accounts. I'm ashamed for the Left when I hear people say the Republicans are going to illegally take away people's savings.
They're going to take away some of your regular Social Security contributions, equal to every penny you put in and every penny of the first 3% of interest you earn on the proposed private accounts, plus inflation. Democrats can pretend that it's the same thing all they want, but it's not. Listening to them, you'd think that putting away $2 and and getting back $1 was some kind of bad deal, or something. posted by David at 2/04/2005 07:41:00 AM ::
