Michael, I wasn't talking about any 2%!! That percentage is so low they could sluff it off, and just say good luck. Everything I have been trying to convey, is that the system in the past has not worked, and will never work, as long as the government controls all of the money, and wastes so much of it. I have always said, and on these threads sometime ago, that had people, my age, been given the option of paying FICA, or keeping the money with no future recourse if it is lost, the older people of this country would be far better off. The ones I am talking about losing money, are the ones that foolishly put all their eggs in the fragile basket of highly speculative stocks. Most of the people my age, that I have known, or talked to, had sense enough not to do that. Haven't younger people ever heard of a diversified portfolio? Managed properly, there is very little risk in investing, in the long haul. It is only when one becomes consumed with greed, that they are asking for trouble. Michael, you can call me an a** hole, or a son of a bitch, but don't you ever call me a democrat again. That's gettin' on the fightin' side of me!! :^))) ~;=;o --haqi
