Give Us a Plan for a Financially-Secure America!
Target: 2008 Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: Divided We Fail
Sponsored by: Divided We Fail
It used to be that if you worked hard, raised your family and played by the rules, you'd be OK. But that's no longer true. Today, the burden of saving for retirement, paying for health care and supporting aging parents falls much more heavily on individuals.
For many people, the American dream is eroding. The presidential candidates have said too little about the long-term financial security crisis Americans face every day. Over the next couple weeks, the presidential candidates will do their best to reach voters in the final key primaries. Now, during this critical period for both sides, it is time to demand that leaders develop a real plan of action.

In the 14 years I've been "on my own" (including 5 married years) I have had 4 surgeries, my husband has had 2 job losses...and we had very little debt! Now with "daily living expenses" rising everyday...literally...and companies not able to give "cost of living raises" we the middle class are now the lower class. There's now MIDDLE Class anymore. Now I need 2 more surgeries and I face failing knees over $$$$$$$$$$$$$....it stinks that I even have to think this way! I shouldn't have to sacrifice my health over $$$$...Someone needs to fight the oil industry....It's killing us at the pump and in everything we purchase! SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING, except line their own pockets!

Social security should be enough to help us when we retire. That is where the money should go that you take from us for that purpose!

I'm tired of suffering and tired of seeing other people suffer for the illusory "American Dream" when American REALITY is killing us
