After scorching the Bush Administraton a few years ago for suggesting the PARTIAL privatization of Social Security, Hillary goes and proposes essentially the same plan. But here is the kicker. Hillary would fund about half of it with taxpayer money.

So let me get this straight. As Americans, we should NOT be allowed to invest our own money in private accounts as President Bush suggested. But, we SHOULD be allowed to invest government money in private accounts. Liberals just kill me sometimes. According to Hillary, I can’t invest my money, but I can invest the money I TAKE from my fellow citizens. She should write this stuff up for Saturday Night Live. It’s that funny.

When President Bush tried to save Social Security, Democrats criticized the plan as too expensive. Now, Hillary wants to provide “matching funds” for every dollar you save. What happened to the idea that individuals should save money for retirement becuse it is a smart idea. Now we have to have the government bribe us to save for retirement? Why?

Secondly, why should someone ELSE pay from my retirement? At least with Social Security I get back the money I paid into it. With Bush’s plan, I got back the money I paid into the system (PLUS MY INTEREST). Now, Hillary’s plan suggests that I deserve someone else’s money in my retirement account. This plan is a glimpse into the mind (unused as it is) of a liberal. They feel they have a “right” to take anything they want. All they need is 51% and they can take, take, take.

As long as I have been teaching, I have never been able to teach a liberal that there is a difference between a “want” and a “right”. Looks like Hillary would have failed my class too.
