Because they equity was there and they thought it always would be.
After what happened to the housing market and the stock market do you think that attitude still exists with those same people?

it would be a bad idea to privatize social security. if you put a fund the size of social security in the hands of wall street brokers you will see some of the riskiest trading in history. billions in profits would be made from tax payer dollars that will be funneled to a few private investors. the social security trust fund is roughly $2.6 T (or thats whats its suppose to be) were put in the hands of stock traders, a few select traders would earn huge profits on those trades. even if it were a 1% management fee (which is typical) that profit would be $26 B annually. this without them having to guarantee any rate of return.It certainly should.
But, when I recently posted about the Dow, several rw's posted that it did not impact their lives because they're just working stiffs, working from paycheck to paycheck. They really did not understand how our stock market works or its importance to us all.
I don't have to read the posts to know they won't understand this either.
They've been told to vote AGAINST themselves and FOR the ultra-wealthy and by gawd, that is what they will do.
They just don't know any better and refuse to learn.
They just can't help it.
1. Is the stock market good or bad?
2. Do you support Bush's suggestion to partially privatize Social Security and invest them in the stock market?
on the same note if you start to allow individuals to trade their own social security, what would happen if they made bad moves and lost all their money? does the government have to come up with more for them, or are they SOL?
with the history that wall street has had in the last few years, we should not trust putting a fund of that size in the hand of people who take bad risks.

This guy Chris just loves keeping this stupid thread alive. First of all, I'd like someone to show me a link that the stock market does 9 times better when Democrats are in charge. It's just the dumbest thing to say.
Unlike most studies, which are based on total returns, Santa-Clara and Valkanov based their efforts on the average excess return of the indexes over the return of the three-month Treasury bill. The results were striking. When a Republican president held office, the value-weighted return delivered nearly a 2% premium over the T-bill. When a Democrat held office, the premium was nearly 11%. While the 9% difference clearly favors the Democrats, the results from the equal-weighted portfolio were even more telling, with a 16%+ result in favor of the Democrats.

Figure 1: Excess returns of CRSP indexes versus three-month Treasury bill, 1927-1998
Further investigation reveals the results were generated by higher real returns and lower interest rates under Democratic administrations. Business cycle fluctuations showed no correlation to the results, demonstrating statistically significant outperformance for the Democrats regardless of underlying economic conditions. Value-weighted portfolios posted a steady 10% premium in favor of the Democrats, while equal-weighted portfolios came in at around 20%.
