Example of how OUT of touch the OWS protesters are.
Doug Schoen Demo pollster interviewed 198 protesters and Sixty-five percent say that government has a moral responsibility to guarantee all citizens access to affordable health care, a college education, and a secure retirement—no matter the cost.

So who would pay for this "guarantee"
Well I have no problem with this except one word: "Government"!
Because EVERY American worker if allowed at age 23 were allowed to direct all the SS & Medicare payments taken out of the paycheck was put into assets that appreciated at 8% a year and this occurred for 47 years the accumulation would be $3,249,880.
Over the years the worker had health insurance and at retirement now has $3 million for a) health care.. b) for retirement c) help in college education!
All of this without ONE dime coming from the government!
Now there are idiots out that like Dems who accuse "privatizing" SS as "gambling" "risky", etc.. but they are ignorant! Equities have grown over 47 yers at 8% and NO idiot has at retirement ALL funds in equities!
So idiots that argue against the ordinary worker becoming a millionaire all from simply "compounding interest".. HATES Americans from becoming millionaires!
So the objective of "GUARANTEE" can be done!
Let the power of capitalism make poor workers millionaires!
