I will continue to promote the general welfare by employing lots of people in a high wage industry. ($16-$28/hr) I will also promote the general welfare by setting a good example of what hard work and perserverence will get you in life and teaching self reliance. For 25 years now Chile has had privatized SSI and it has shown overwhelming returns. The Bush plan also limits the investment options as I hear it. Much like a 401K.

If middle income consumers must "keep a higher percentage of their income in circulation" then why does your guy want to pick and choose who gets a tax cut based on his approved activities. At least Bush wants to treat everyone equally. Has the left abandoned the idea of treating people the same???????? By the way, my portfolio is only up about 15% year to date. I know it isn't much but it is better than 2%.
