<<This language of diversion, much loved by some liberals, betrays the liberal-leftist presupposition that the money a person earns does not belong to that person, but to the government, and that special argument is needed to justify a person’s keeping of his own money.>> This is hyperbolic and off base. "Diversion" means diverted into private accounts rather than available to pay the benefits of current pensioners, money that will have to come from somewhere else, either that or current pensions reduced, which Bush said is off the table.
