Thank you Democrat leaders
August 03rd 12:55:42 PM
congratulations and thank you to democrat leaders who showed amazing insight, direction, and compassion by advocating personal accounts way back in 2000.
the hyde park declaration, signed aug. 1, 2000, by senators kerry, landrieu, bayh, and lieberman (which also includes the pledges from over 70 other democrat legislators), proposes the implementation of "RETIREMENT SAVINGS ACCOUNTS to enable low-income americans to save for their own retirement"
and
"shifting the focus of america's antipoverty and social insurance programs from transferring wealth to creating wealth."
s4 agrees entirely with these progressive, discerning, and courageous mavericks within the democrat party. to celebrate the fifth year anniversary of the democrat leadership council’s hyde park declaration -- a "statement of principles and a policy agenda for the 21st century", all signatories should continue, as PRESIDENT CLINTON encouraged them to, "meet the challenge of an aging america by extending the life of social security ... and helping working families to establish their own RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS so that more americans have a chance to create wealth."
thank you president clinton, and progressive democrats, for advocating young America’s retirement security through personal accounts. let's keep that forward-looking spirit alive, remindful of the clinton campaign song;
"...don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,
don't stop, it'll soon be here,
it'll be, better than before,
yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone..."
