IF YOU'VE GOT A STAKE YOU PROTECT THE SOCIETY:
The Investor Election? (Duane D. Freese, 10/28/2004, Tech Central Station)
There is a dirty little secret about Social Security privatization -- and why John Kerry tried to scare seniors about a trumped up Bush "January surprise" to take away their benefits by privatizing their program.The secret has nothing to do with protecting seniors, or Bush intending to take away their benefits, as Kerry falsely claimed. So, what is it?
A poll released Tuesday conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, at the behest of Investor's Action, a new group founded by TCS host James Glassman found that Bush has an 8 percentage point advantage over Kerry among the 71 percent of likely voters who invest in the markets (margin of error of 3.46). Meanwhile, among those who don't have investments, Kerry holds a 14 percentage point lead.
It's the ultimate genius of the Ownership Society--owners are conservative. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 28, 2004 4:26 PM
Ah, but this is only a cunning ploy by the owning class to foster flase conciousness among the workers, or worse, the lumpen. It can not possibly succeed, as Karl scientifically demonstrated, and we must tirelessly agitate to defeat the gambit, as Karl urged.
