Ugly Lies within Glamour
May 26th 02:46:46 PM
Everybody likes a good chick-fight but this is ridiculous!
With a bad case of schadenfreude, the shrews, er uh, ladies (respect our elders) at Glamour are sabotaging the economic well-being for the rest of us girls. In a new June issue editorial titled, "Will You Die Broke?", the mag, rather than championing personal accounts - which provide total gender/econ equality - these June Cleavers instead want to keep younger women stuck in the economic dark ages.
Fear. They're afraid of independence and progress, it's more sad than anything else. No, what's most sad is that, rather than simply presenting an argument to help us make informed decisions, the editors need to lie, misrepresent, distort the facts, and deceive more drama than a cheesy soap opera.
Truth is, women have everything to gain with personal accounts and nothing to lose. Personal accounts would simply allow younger women to invest some of our Social Security taxes, using a similar structure as a 401(k), the kind of privileged financial planning usually accessible only to older, well established people. So, while younger working women are graduating, just entering the workforce, and trying to pay back our student loans, the government would merely be setting up a retirement account for us not cutting us off at the economic knees as raising taxes on your paycheck would.
The gals at Scamour, err Glamour (dang, I did it again) magazine just don't "get it". They honestly can't see past their closed-minded mono-thought partisanship to grasp the incredible empowering opportunity personal accounts are for women of all ages. What's baffling is that, since PAs are totally VOLUNTARY, those who are opposed are denying us even a right to choose! Umm, hypocritical much? So pathetic.
