If Social Security is even partially privatized... it means death to

Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 10:06 PM by kohodog

thousands and thousands of non-public businesses.

Any economists here?

The middle and small main street businesses cannot afford to be starved out of existence by publicly held Wallmarts and Home Depots who can locally and regionally lower prices to close down Main Street USA. With tremendous capital they can weather terrorist atacks and economic downturns.

If shrub gets to funnel Social Security money to his buddies we'll all be working for $7.00/hr.

3. Oh, but working for $7 an hour is a GOOD thing..................

how the heck else can the corporate fat boys get their gigantic bonuses???????? The only measure of how well Amurka is doin' is how much money the big boys get for raping the rest of us. They rape the employees, they rape the shareholders, and they rape the customers for good measure. Free-market capitalism at its best, folks!!!!!!!
