While every worker can decide for himself, I would like to explain why I would divert payroll taxes into a PRA invested in stock index funds. The first is that over long periods, the stock market offers much higher returns for what I find an acceptably low risk. Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has found that the broad stock market from 1802 through 2003 averaged a 6.8 percent annual real rate of return. While the markets fluctuate from year to year, over all 30-year holding periods since 1802, the lowest annual real return...
...because of solvency issues, but because private accounts are inherently superior to the current system. We believe that the massive transition costs outlined above are enough reason to reject this argument. But more importantly, privatization destroys the goal of Social Security: confidence in retirement. Even if the average worker would benefit from private accounts (which may or may not happen), there will be many, many workers whose private accounts would under perform, costing them thousands in retirement.

"Harry wasn't a great actor," says long-time porn entrepreneur Fred Lincoln, "but he was a great fucker." Reems is justly proud of his quick preparation for the money scenes: "I can get turned on by a picture of Minnie Mouse." (Fine, Harry, just...
...that this need does not evaporate at 18, when kids "age out" of the foster-care system. "It's pretty sad," says Jackson, "when I get a call from a 24-year-old guy who's got no one to ask for help or advice except his former social worker, or from a young woman who is having her first baby and there are no grandparents in the picture...
