AMERISAVE ACCOUNTS --

The new, improved plan from the Democrat Party, designed to answer Bush's Social Security Reform!!

JUST ANOTHER VOTE-BUYING PROGRAM FROM THE LEFT

Well, . . . It's about time!! The Democrats have finally come out with their grand and glorious idea on Social Security reform. Instead of further stonewalling of the Bush proposals, and stalling their own allies in the mainstream media, they've finally come out with what they think is a viable response. They call it "Amerisave." Basically here's what you have. If you are in the low or middle income groups -- the Democrat's favorites -- you will get matching funds for every additional dollar, beyond your Social Security taxes, that you invest for your retirement. Where do those matching funds come from?? Why, increased taxes, of course!! Where else!! Increased taxes on high-achieving Americans.

What a plan!! You take money away from people who don't generally vote for you and give it to people who do generally vote for you, and you call it Social Security reform! And how much money? Original estimates are around $75,000,000,000, (yes, that's seventy-five billion bucks), for ten years. That, of course, will turn out to be hugely underestimated. In every election cycle the Democrats will come forward and promise that if you'll just vote for them they will take more money from the evil rich and add it to the retirement accounts of lower and middle-income Americans.

Amerisave is a vote-buying plan. Nothing less. And, . . . I gotta say, after all the demonization of privately owned accounts, . . . this?? They want you to think that this is comparable to "private accounts!!" Oh, that's right, when you die -- it goes right back to the government, (that's the part they mention, ONLY when asked, but keep it under whisper or less, on the volume control).

Oh, . . . . and just what will the government be doing with the surplus Social Security taxes ever year?? The same thing your government has been doing for you every year out of the past 40+.

They will take that money and spend it on yet more vote-buying programs, and in return they will put another IOU into that filing cabinet in West Virginia. This is a policy the Democrats started decades ago, . . . and one they are defending to the death today. Too bad they don't realize that more and more Americans can see right through this political facade they're selling, dressed up like a gimme program. In a nutshell, . . . instead of letting you keep that money that you earned and put it in a private account that you control for your retirement, . . . AND for your families perpetuity, . . . it will be seized and spent.

Business as usual from the left.
