All of this is very true, but what does being white have to do with it? The only effective way to fight this class war is on an integrated basis. The ruling class loves to divide and conquer. I hope you're not implying that it's acceptable to live with these daily humiliations if one is other than white, because, if you grow up black in this country, the degradations and humiliations are ten fold.

You pretty much just told the story of my life, but I'm with Steve- the working class is colorblind. So I ask you, do you actually think that we'll all be equally respected, educated, and funded? You're deluded if you do, cause if that happens who's going to make rich and powerful look good?

I have to laugh. You've been out of your parents' house for what, two, three years? Going to school for free? Oh you poor, downtrodden working-class hero! I feel your pain.

I agree with you in a lot of ways. The government takes money from our paychecks, and spends it on whatever great program has come along. Social Security has been on the skids for some time now and only President Bush has taken serious steps to tackle the problem. Everything is on the table. I say this only because I was watching a rerun of "The West Wing" last night on Bravo which talked about reforming Social Security and the inherent problems associated. I don't expect Social Security to be there when I retire (I am 40 years old) because, unless they tacle the problem now I don't think it every will because of the way both parties use the issue to club one another. All these things have been discussed since President Clinton's first term. Pat Moynihan was one of the first to try and tackle this problem. He has passed, but the problem still exists.

If you want to privatize social security its very simple. cut back the excess the government has by cutting back spending at least 50 percent wich would be easy to do and take everyone on ssi/ssd right now and put them on a fixed annuity account where they live off the interest and would live better off i might add then they are living now and stop taking out such taxes to pay ssi/ssd and let the american worker invest where they want to for thier retirement but thats too easy and simple for bush to think about. what can you expect from a republican?

Tom Williams

Democrats would never go for your plan.
