FOX News manages to
sum up Bush proposal in 3 words: "Kill
Social Security!"
Throwing all subtlety
to the wind, promotions for the August 13 edition of Fox News'
Forbes on Fox included on-screen text "Kill Social Security!" and
the letters "R.I.P." superimposed over a picture of a Social
Security card.
The topic of The
Forbes on Fox segment, hosted by David Asman, featured a panel of
editors and writers from Forbes magazine discussing the joys of
replacing Social Security with risky investment schemes.

United to Protect Social Security

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social
security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm
programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.
There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do
these things.
Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or
businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are
stupid."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican)

This page is provided to keep you
informed on this very important issue. Social Security and Railroad
Retirement are closely related and must be watched and protected as one in the
same.
Over the course of the next months, the
media and proponents of Social Security reform will tell the public every reason
for changing the system. We will try to present other side of the story which
will not be provided by the main-stream. Please
click here email us any
information which you would like posted on this page.
