"It's not exactly a liberation of their money, it's changing the direction of the money to a riskier and half-as-profitable route."
Well, I think it is but a step towards what I mentioned earlier.
See, Social Security is one of those things that's been around a little while, and it's kindof entrenched in people's minds. I'd really like to see it gone entirely, and liberty restored as it was before the program was implimented, however I don't think the public would accept this. Privatization, if done right, would possibly get the public ready for more economic liberty in the future (such as returning complete control of your money to... you.
Aside from this, however, if Bush's proposal was to phase out Social Security alltogether (not private accounts, but again... restore complete control of the money to those who earned it), would you support it? I know you want things done slowly, so lets assume it is slowly phased out, maybe incrementally or a bit at a time or something. Would you support it?
