Of course the reason that we have most baby boomers unprepared for retirement is that they've been forced to pay 12.4 percent into social security, and are likely to receive less than than they paid in.

If they paid 12.4 percent into a private 401k and got to keep their own money ( a concept lost on the far-left) then many more of them would be prepared for retirement.

That's racism we can believe in

Perhaps it is Steven Chu that should learn more about "greenhouse gases". He needs to understand that CO2 is a very *inefficient* gas and plays very little part in trapping heat.

I think what he meant to say is that teenagers need to learn *less* facts, and just accept the propaganda-de-jour.

I have heard this before. This is an emerging plan to steal private workers' 401k savings and use it to plug the huge underfunded private sector union retirements. It's simply a case of theft to buy more union votes.

Already done in Argentina - don't let it happen here.

Gives you and idea of what will happen when we all realize that the US is headed down the same path as Greece.

I suspect radical environ-mental nuts jobs caused this to support their far-left agenda. Nothing is beyond these gangsters.

Thanks for the laugh guys, they delusional left at Kos more mentally ill than I thought. I refuse to browse to that site - I'd feel dirty just going to such a cesspit.

So we see a new tax that increases costs for a business and they start to struggle. This is surprising only for the delusional far-left, that are just not intelligent enough to understand simple concepts like:

- taxes are just an expense for a business, they affect the bottom line
- corporations don't have an infinite amount of money

Why is it possible to not know this?

It's not hard to understand that enormous deficits and debts are are crushing burden, bound to end in disaster. It's staring us in the face with the demise of Greece - yet liberals aren't intelligent enough to see it. Even monkey's can learn from mistakes - liberals can not.

Gives you a glimpse of the not-too-distant future of the US under Democrats
