"Privatization" VS. "Personal Accounts"
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 12:26 PM by jefferson_dem
Conservative shitbags are once again desperately trying to fuck with the language and thus frame the debate.

"Coleman said he was attacked during his 2002 campaign for favoring privatization. "I countered it by being very clear that I supported personal accounts and opposed privatization," he said."

REALLY??? What dork.

So...let's all make sure we use "PRIVATIZATION" in nearly every every sentence we speak today, regardless of context.

1. Risk, Burden/Guarantee, Promise
These are other words to use in the Social Security debate. Why would the government want to take a guaraneed or promised benefit and shift the risk and burden to the American people

2. Norm Coleman is an assclown
He's the biggest joke in MN, after Jesse Ventura. He's the lowest common denominator as far as politicians go. He's a turncoat Dem who only won because of Wellstone's death.

Had Paul lived, Normie would be a footnote.

3. Private Savings in Stock Markets are a great idea. The repukes did
not invent the market. They want to undo SS and that is not a good thing. Many countries have given their populace the option of tax savings on money voluntarily invested in private savings plans on top of SS.

Of course you would have to have an 'income tax system' in place for this to work. Repukes & WH want to erase Income Tax and replace it with Sales Tax System. So this must be why they hide their SS plan. Cause it is built around their plans for a tax system that has no Income Tax anymore.

Make the WH tell the truth and lay it on the line.
