Just finished watching George W. Bush's convention speech. Click here to read the text. Nothing changed my mind about the way I will cast my ballot in 2 months, but I did not expect anything of the sort. Oddly, I do agree with at least a few of Bush's overall concepts--simplifying the tax code, moving away from reliance on Social Security for retirement planning, and improving the quality of education, for starters. Nonetheless, I fail to be convinced that the few specifics offered will do anything to work toward those goals. The only tactic I heard that might work is allowing younger workers to invest in their own retirements. I'd better hope that will work, or I'm socking money into my IRA for nothing.
