Gotta love Alan Greenspan. Here he was earlier last week, before the
congress.

Note his careful choosing of words to describe the Bush Social Security plan
and what it means for working and middle class Americans..

I quote Mr. Greenspan directly here..

  "These accounts, properly constructed and managed, will create ... a sense
of increased wealth on the part of the middle and lower-income classes of
American society, who have had to struggle with very little capital."

Ahem..

Isn't it nice that you and I only will get a *sense* of increased wealth out
of these plans? So much for a real solution that will benefit those who need
it most.

Can you say Wall Street Welfare?

Hey, here's a novel idea: How about if these big corporations that are
outsourcing jobs to the third world and creating only lower paying new jobs
in their wake, just learn the hard way that not paying the hired help enough
to buy your product (and in a corporation's case, that would be it's
stocks), means that you'll have that many less new investors in the future!

Oh no, can't do that! gotta keep the overall numbers UP!

Let's give them access to Social Security savings, after all, the
billionaire and millionaire stakeholders are SO needy aren't they?

My vote is for a national VAT to be added to fund this transition to the
investment scam, with the hope that it becomes so onerous, that America
loses it's pussified, materialistic, spending proclivity and these
corporates and CEO's (who've seen an average 46% pay increase in 2004, BTW)
lose their shirts.

Fuck big business and it's craven ways. Bring on the Christian morality -
esp, the material poverty part.
