The idea behind the Social Security program is community concern.Thats why the corporatists want to do away with it. If you put enough fear into people, if you can atomize them enough and make them lose their concern for others, then people will resist paying into a collective fund that benefits the entire community ... this enables the forces of privatization to do away with public education and health care . Putting social security in the stock market would generate enormous fees for the owners of Merril Lynch, Morgan Stanley, etc., the very people who push so hard for privatization ....


Reagan and Bush deliberately increased the size of government (with defense spending, mainly), they ran up historic deficits, cut taxes to the wealthy (the top 1% got 40% of the break)- then had to cut social spending as a result. All planned, and its happening again.

Fear of the monster abroad that is coming to destoy us- maybe the Sandinistas, maybe Noriega, maybe Saddam Hussein, etc., fear, fear, fear... Nobody in any other country was afraid of Saddam- even Kuwait was against the war... The US has militarily intervened in Latin America about 200 times in the last century- all for money and power. The Empire murders well over three million people around the world per year- mostly women and children- all for money, power, and to distract the citizens away from bad governship and misdeeds at home.....This holocaust rivals what the Third Reich did, only the Germans imagined they were creating a new and better world, full of excellent individuals. The Busheviks know that their only goal is petty control and wealth, so in this sense the US is more morally repugnant than the Nazi regime.
