Supporter of Personal Accounts?
October 11th 04:01:57 PM

We've determined that Jewel (critically recognized singer and poet) is most likely a supporter of personal retirement accounts, whether she knows it or not.  In her "Who Will Save Your Soul," from the 1995 club banger "Pieces of You," Jewel sang:

"You got Social Security, but that don't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the devil, say you're o.k. for today,
You say that you love them, take their money and run
Say it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings you've got to cut"

The song is clearly about the misuse of the Social Security "trust fund" and the fact that young people are being taxed without regard to our future.  We're getting strung along without personal accounts because too many politicians are addicted to pork. 

These are foolish games indeed.  Thanks, Jewel.
