Hey, anyone see Gattica? They could add a few thousand other factors to predetermine whether or not we should be allowed to live at all based on our DNA.

Wages to begin with shouldn't be gender-based. We all do the same work (if you work in an office, as I used to), so we ought to be paid the same wage. The same when we retire. But I'm talking about that utopia that will never quite make it in the door...

It would be shameful if they only woke up and realized it. But they're still under the spell of You Know Who.

I hadn't heard this was actually proposed until now, but I have been saying this for a long time. This is probably the most inteligent thing to come out of the Republican party in years. Social security is an insurance program. Women live longer, and thus can expect to recieve it longer, so they should pay more into it, or get it at a later age. It is that simple. All private life insurance programs differentiate based on age, except that men pay more there because its a single payout, and men die younger and pay into it for less years. I find it interesting that anyone calls this sex discrimination when women living longer is clearly backed up by statistics. Nobody has the same problem with men being charged more for car insurance. I'm not sure how you would deal with widows continuing to get their spouse's SS though.

fawaz, would you also suggest then that non-smokers who exercise, eat healthy and don't have any known illnesses should also pay more?
