social security...repubs or demos?

[Ka]

Where do Republicans stand on the issue of Social Security?
What about democrats?

please give a none swayed answer.

Reps want to turn ss into retirement gamble plan (as oppose to retirement security insurance that it is now)

Dems are trying to solve SS insolvency by isolating SS collected funds and increasing SS tax ceiling.

Here's a non-swayed answer. They both suck. We could get a better return on our SS taxed money if we open a CD. Do you know that members of the Senate and Congress can opt-out of SS? They should be forced to participate and be taxed just like us common folk. They are just a bunch of hypocrites.

The main difference between the GOP and the Democrats on Social Security is that Republicans want to privatize Social Security - ie., allowing workers to put the portion of their payroll tax now currently going into the Social Security coffers into private accounts. The Democrats are against privatization because they argue it puts a worker's retirement savings at the whim of the stock market.

Do you think Obama, Clinton or McCain will replace the billions of dollars that the Federal Government has burrowed out of our Social Security for the past 50 years, Have you ever asked yourself, why don’t they steal billions out of the Federal Pension and give it to the Illegals?
In 1983 the Reagan administration raised your Social Security retirement age to 67 and we sat back and did nothing. A few years ago Greenspan wanted to raise your Social Security retirement age to 70, and again, we sat back and did nothing. Don’t you realize, if the Federal Government would put back all that money like they promised (IOU) we all could all retire at age 55 with 60% to 80% of our salary, just like the people in France, Germany, England and a lot of other countries in Europe. We are the richest country in the world, we should have the best health care, the best retirement plan for everyone not just (Government Employees), we could have the the best schools, the best penal system, the best roads, bridges, and the best care for the homeless and our Vets. I guess building bridges to nowhere and the study of the Bulgarian Bullfrogs breeding habits and over 1 trillion dollars spent in Iraq is much more important than our problems here.
