The Facts

McCain has expressed support for a never-adopted Bush administration proposal to allow Americans to invest a portion of the money that they now pay in payroll taxes in "personal retirement accounts" that would be tied to stock market performance. Participation would have been voluntary. Eligibility would have been limited to future retirees, with a cut-off date of birth dates after 1950.

Ask the Enron employees how it worked out for them with their 401Ks.

I hope the state of NH treated you right. It would be a pity if they didn't take care of their teachers.
