Thinking about how you can make your retirement secure?
Wall Street’s risky gambles plunged our entire economy into crisis. Now more than 70% of Americans are worried about paying for basic expenses in retirement.
Greedy bankers and speculators hurt retirement security. Previous banking crises undermined private sector pensions. Now Wall Street insiders are attacking social security and public sector pensions.
Privatizing social security and switching workers to risky
individual accounts are not real solutions to either our
economic crisis or the pressures on retirement security.
They will only serve to enrich Wall Street.
Already one-quarter of working men and women have delayed their planned retirement.
More than half report they have less than $25,000 in savings and investments – hardly enough to retire.
At the same time Wall Street wealth and banker bonuses are increasing exponentially.
A Secure Retirement is working to stop this emerging national crisis. Starting in California we are working to strengthen and expand our pension system and revitalize the pillars of retirement security.
After a lifetime of work and caring for a family, working men and women need a dignified and sustainable life in retirement. We deserve:
Universal Coverage: Every worker should be covered by a retirement plan that allows them to effectively save for the future.
Secure Retirement: Retirements shouldn’t be a gamble. Workers should be able to count on a steady lifetime stream of retirement income to supplement Social Security.
Adequate Income: Everyone should be able to have an adequate retirement income after a lifetime of work. That means sufficient income, together with Social Security, to maintain a reasonable standard of living.
Join us in shaping the state and national policy debate today.
