Thank you. I just don't think it is fair, with an aging society, and no health insurance in the U.S. till age 65, if you live that long, and it is limited i.e. medicare.

There is a growing anti-social security movement here, but Mr. Bush was unsuccessful in his efforts to get the legislation passed. Trying to link social security to capitalisim, like large corporations were able to do with 401k's doing away w/pensions, which are almost non existant in the U.S. now unless you work for a government agency. The recent slide and economic crisis, which could go global, I hope is a lesson to not replace social security w/further programs drawing, and forcing workers to rely on the stock market for a pension. Enron, and now Bear Stearns, are lessons, I hope for younger generations, to not ride the coat tails of the wealthy and priviledged classes, a European social model replacing this movement of privitization of our futures hitched to who knows what next will happen to my investments. One should not have to worry about a stock in old age and illness.

I'll do my homework. Thanks again for the motivation.
