Saving enough to retire has become impossible for most Americans.

Americans used to be able to depend on their jobs to provide a stable retirement.

A whole generation of Americans will retire in poverty instead of prosperity, because they simply are not preparing for retirement now.

Social Security is the only thing most Americans can count on to keep them out of poverty during retirement.

Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.

Our government makes the simple promise of a secure retirement to every American who works for many years and contributes to our retirement benefit system.

Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.

The highest-income Americans don't need tax-free health insurance, mortgage interest deductions or deferred taxation on retirement funds.

I'd like Americans to save their money, and not get taxed on their savings.

Obviously, people with low or even moderate incomes could not afford such savings rates, and even diligent savings from their low wages would not be enough to pay for either retirement or healthcare.
