AP Poll on SS Retirement Views
ABC (AP) - Two-thirds of those who say they're doing an excellent job of preparing for retirement support Bush's plan to create personal accounts, while those who say they are doing a good job are evenly split. Two-thirds of those doing a fair or poor job of preparing for retirement oppose his plan.
Could it be that those who say they're doing an excellent job of preparing for retirement understand better than most how the free market works and how to better manage their money? And those same people understand that control over their SS funds, even a small measure of control, is better than letting the government handle it? I'm willing to bet that those two points largely explain the poll answers.
