3. They intend to defund it from the top down.
Well all know that Joe Workadaddy isn't making enough to invest 2% of his social security, pay 15% on it, and make any sort of difference to his retirement. That leaves Joe Millionaire who pays the maximum on his earnings, and will have approximately $1260 a year extra to throw at the stock market. Even if he's done the math and realizes he'll lose 15% right off the top in fees, he's hostile enough to ordinary people to go ahead and fatten brokers just to cheat widows and orphans.

It will leave the poorest earners funding the system, especially since that 2% is only the beginning. We all know that once this gang of thieves starts to chip away at it, they won't stop until it's all gone.

NO to this stupid, heartless, and ultimately ruinous plan. NO to any damned fool in Congress who votes for it.

Let's make this one radioactive, so radioactive that even Delay can't bully people into voting for it.
