Social Security Privatization Hurts Women

Four Democratic women Senators will hold a public town hall meeting today in Seattle, WA, with women from all walks of life to talk about the negative impact that the GOP Social Security privatization scheme would have on American women.

"The President's Social Security privatization plan will hurt women" said DNC Communications Director Karen Finney. "Women depend on Social Security to make ends meet. More than half of women seniors would be in poverty without its guaranteed benefits. Despite efforts to mislead them, American women know that just as Bush's privatization plan is bad for seniors, bad for younger workers and bad for our nation's finances, it's particularly bad for American women of all ages."

Taking all of the negative remarks that have just been read,concerning social security privatization ,look at all of the people that would be truly hurt by this move,doesn't it seem peculiar that it may well be the people that would vote against the right wing,so here goes this administration,trying to render these people disheartened so that in the next election they may loose their desire to participate in voting for a new administration,this is usually what takes place when people are put usunder.
