: McSpotlight: David, I don't mean to sound rude, but quoting the Cato Institute as your sole source isn't really going to persuade many of the opposition here; the Cato Institute has something of a reputation...: Fact: 'Today, 76 million Americans, members of 43 percent households, own stock or stock mutual funds...' (The Rise of Worker Capitalism Cato Policy analysis, p. 1, Executive summary.)

: Fact: 'The 1996 Retirement Confidence Survey, conducted by EBRI, Mathew Greenwald and Associates, and the Council of American Savings Education Council, found that "61 percent of workers reported their employer offered a retirement saving plan. . . '(Ibid. p. 6)
Speaking of retirement, did you know that ONLY 25% of the American people will even be able to retire AT ALL? (Forbes, 16 June 1997, p. 159.)
