Chapter 2: Values
If the guiding philosophy behind the traditional system of social insurance could be described as "We're all in it together," the philosophy behind Bush's Ownership Society seems to be, "You're on your own."
Chapter 5: Opportunity
Chapter 7: Race
The Administration argues that the stock market can provide individuals a better return on investment, .... But individual investment decisions will always produce winners and losers. What would the Ownership Society do with the losers?
That doesn't mean we shouldn't encourage individuals to pursue higher-risk, higher-return investment strategies. They should. It just means that they should do so with savings other than those put into Social Security.
