This would be at the wage earner's discretion and the system would have allayed the fears you have while giving the wage earner more control over his future.

President Bush was demonized by the Democrat establishment, who's false claims were echoed by the lamestream media who misrepresented and virtually lied about his plan in one of the biggest examples of media malpractice evidenced in our lifetimes.
