Bush's Social Security Smoke Screen
As we previously discussed in "The Party of Choice", the Bush Social Security privatization is only loosely concerned about increasing market returns for retirement savings, providing greater freedom to American investors or even staving off a supposed funding crisis. Win or lose, the Bush plan seeks nothing less than to dramatically redefine the role of government while cementing the image of a majority Republican Party as the party of choice.
But you don't have to take our word for it. An email recently unearthed from Karl Rove deputy Peter Wehner bluntly states the administration's goals and strategies:
Wehner's nakedly cynical memo, is of course wrong on virtually every substantive point of public policy. But in one claim, Wehner speaks a painful truth, a warning that Democrats are viewed as "party of obstruction and opposition. It is the Party of the Past."

If you want to thwart the Republican Party then look to the companies who donate to them.
Tell THEM you want an increase to the minimum wage.
Tell THEM to stop social security piratization and instead lift the limit of taxable income for the FICA tax which will keep social security solvent.
Tell THEM you want to repeal the faulty prescription drug law and replace it with a real prescription drug benefit that covers 80 percent of medication cost.
Tell THEM you remain outraged about the 2004 stolen election in Ohio.
They put the Republicans into office. Tell THEM what you want and boycott THEM until you get what you want. Join together and use the power of your purchases to get what you want in congress.
Join the revolution for progressive legislation
