The fact is about 5% of those over 50 years of age are already millionaires and would not fit “The Fix” as stated. Maybe this could be handled like a company buy-out. You can opt for this plan or opt out. <br /><br />When you look at what the government is spending to repair the economy, it is going to break us if we continue to put good money after bad: The fact is government is the problem. I’m not interested in forced retirement. It’s a proposal to fix something the people’s money can fix. It’s not Washington’s money. It’s yours and mine. I don’t feel this is an invasion of privacy. I do not feel if this is an option chose by the individual that you’d be inflicting any real detriment to the individual. Sure, you’d have to live here, in the greatest country the world has ever seen, but I fail to see that as a problem. The dollar being so weak right now you’d soon discover it’s worth more here then anywhere else. You could leave after fulfilling your obligations to the proposal after say five years. If you’re married and both over 50 you’d double your money. Investing it makes stocks go up and that makes those younger more inclined to invest in stocks. <br /><br />Please ponder this fix. I am wondering if it just might work with some tweaking here and there. <br /><br />Thank you for your keen advice once again Madam Rice.Eric Graffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811398681615216585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869661082372494048.post-70389878546947183772010-01-31T17:56:04.506-06:002010-01-31T17:56:04.506-06:00Good Post!

But, wouldn't forcing something like retirement on persons go against a person's privacy, liberty and pursuit of happiness? I believe that the forced retirement would go against our Constitutional rights. Gee... This sounds a lot like what the current health care "reform" bill does. the bill forces citizens to buy health insurance or be fined and/or jailed. That is in fact unconstitutional.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com
