I hate SS but, I want my money! I put it in all of these years and I want it back. I didn't have an employer that paid half of it for me, I was self-employed thus, a self-employment tax as far as I'm concerned.

SS needs to be privatized for the younger workers in my opinion and the Republicans aren't doing a very good job of selling it. The Republicans are assuming that everyone has enough common sense to know that SS money would be tied to index funds, not allowed to invest in an Enron or Worldcom.

The Democrats know too many people lack common sense so they build on that lack of knowledge by creating fear. You could lose all of your money. Look at Enron. Look at Worldcom. The sky is falling.

It's a damn shame in my opinion.

Those same people who are opposed to you and I investing SS in an index fund, are the same ones who don't pay SS or have a government type plan that allows them to invest in those index funds.

It's all about power and who controls it. What a sorry ass bunch of people.
