Chamay0 (and others), you never explain why people are on social security. It was never meant to be a safety net nor a retirement account. Last I have seen there are these institutions everywhere that assist the poor. They are called "churches" and "synagogues".

Believe me the stock market is far more reliable than government run social security. Ever wonder how much of one SS dollar actually makes it to the recipient?

This is a good ad.  My mom (one of the loves of my life) is on Social Security and she could not afford to have had her benefits connected to Wall Street. But yet, that's one of McCain's pet projects.  I will be honest, I am not for this plan, for the reason that have stock market sinking all week long.I already try to help my mom out and we would be in a bad way if her social security went the way of the stock market.  I'm sorry, McCain does not have any fresh ideas for the American people to move forward in the 21st century. more about "Social Security", posted with vodpod

Obama ad hits McCain on social securityIt's not a good week to have had, as so many Americans do, your retirement savings in equities.Watch It:McCain recently told a crowd in Denver: "Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that's a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace." For millions of retired and disabled Americans, Social Security isn't a disgrace – it's their primary source of income. And Americans do understand the way it works, because it's the same way Social Security has worked for more than 70 years. This isn't the first time John McCain has spoken out again Social Security. Back in March, McCain said that private savings accounts should be a part of Social Security reform. That privatization scheme is the very same failed Bush policy that the American people rejected in 2005. When it comes to messing with Social Security, John McCain is as bad as President Bush – if not worse. Sign our petition to John McCain here, telling him that our country's most important and successful retirement program is not a disgrace.

I know - Another Obama Ad... What happens to SS is perhaps the most important issue of the campaign for me. I'll be 65 next month and took an early retirement earlier this year. I get very worried when I hear McSame talking about privatizing SS. Yeah, give all that money to Wall Street, watch the fat cat corporations get richer with my money. NOT Now, NOT Ever! BTW: I hear according to the Media that Obama isn't doing well with Old Farts like me. I don't know where they get their numbers. If you read the last ARRP magazine you would see that Obama agrees with them on the SS issue 100%. The only question that McSame bothered to answer was in disagreement with the ARRP.
