The elegance of the Bush argument that the poor will be able to "pass on" their social security money to their heirs--
Because they "die sooner"....is simply AMAZING.
Especially when you consider that THIS will ALSO be an argument for NOT providing needed National Health Care Coverage to low wage, low benefit workers!
Because WITH Health Insurance: The low wage worker may "live longer"
Thus, "stealing" needed money from their childrens' "inheritance."
Beautiful!
Ya gotta hand it to the Rovian Republicans! They've got all the bases covered on this one! They've managed to kill two birds with one stone. They've killed off Social Security and Health Care reform with one big lie.
