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.

"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."

 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.
