Okay hows this, a small percentage of social sec money goes to fund the small biz admin which loans out to start ups in exchange for pre ipo stock which gets sold at the ipo replenishing the fund.

Government as VC.

OT:

Under Bush's plan, workers will have the option of putting 2% of their payroll tax into the market in a regulated fashion. It is not the whole ball of wax, only 2%.

I'm not voting for either Bush or Gore (too much spending and rhetoric by both), but I think the distortions of Bush's policies have gone on far too long (I'm not talking about you, Gersh, just the dems in general). Bush is really showing the lack of fight in him by not setting the record straight. Why won't he defend himself? For instance, why doesn't Bush just say that the lowest tax bracket will have a larger percentage decrease in their tax rates than the highest brackets? BTW, the WSJ says that the higher tax brackets may not even get a big tax cut at all because they would be subject to the AMT. If Bush said that, Gore wouldn't know how to answer.
