I propose America better wake up before it is too late.

REDACTED: Waking up is NOT a proposal!! State a credible plan that people can
participate in that will provide credible cash flow in retirement.

You have added another variable into the discussion by opening the healthcare
issue. Where does the money come from? Don't give the old canard of 'tax the
rich'. According to Hillary any family earning more than $30,000 has to be
defined as rich to support her health care proposals [healthcare in the USA
costs about 10,000 per family per year. According to the USA Census Bureau we
have 300,000,+ people at 4.3 people per family or approximately 70,000,000
families. Do the math! [$700 Billion per year!] [note for the non USA reader:
$30,000 USD is top of the poor class or bottom of the middle class by
contemporary definitions]

Again: Where do you propose the money comes from?

Stating a problem without proposing several possible credible solutions is
unacceptable to everyone. Why? We cannot continue to discuss or debate the pros
and cons of nothing!

Apparently you have issues with the Equity solution. Fine! I have a problem with
NO proposed solution.

Finally, like you, my retirement is also secure, an insured fully funded annuity.

My retirement is
secure and isn't tied to Social Security, in fact, Ive paid into it. But, I
fear for others
who face a less certain financial future and the lack of even basic
affordable healthcare.
