3 – SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM - Bringing basic fairness to the Social Security system through the creation of inheritable personal savings accounts.

AKA "We support these things that will make our two professional white males with really good incomes stock portfolio grow even faster. Plus, we figure that most folks are too stupid to understand the actual impact of that whole insurance across state lines thing....it's a friggin jackpot for the insurance industry and our 401k's."

"Again, we pandered by adding that 'in the gay community part'. Actually, we conservatives only like small business as a talking point 'cause it gets people to vote for us. When it comes to actual legislation, like the one last week, we're totally against it. Those silly small businesses never made anyone's portfolios grow."
