On top of forcing people to have a vested interest in stock prices, it allows businesses to pocket the 6.5% of an employees income that would otherwise be the employer's contribution to SSI.

I am sure the over 50 crowd will be exempt from having their Social security taken away, so it will be the young people that will be screwed once again. Screwed by the Republican Boomers and Gen X'rs because they were too busy watching F-Boy Island to vote.
