Video: Rachel Maddow and the three pillars of retirement
Must see TV.

Wall Street/Banks have taken 2 of the three pillars, pensions and savings (no interest/no way to grow savings) and are now after the 3rd pillar, Social Security. Privatization of Social Security = flooding the markets with mo' money. When that happens, we can all be beggars again when we hit 65 or 67 or whatever, probably sooner than that because we tend to lose jobs in our 50's.

Medicare and Medicaid are tied into this as well.

We are the 99%.

"Don't blame Wall Street, blame yourself" and the crowd cheers.
