    Because it's not voluntary. There should be a way to opt out and invest the monies as you see fit.

    I see some benefit, but only because we would be supporting 1/2 of the country who would never put away a dime. They would just put everyone on disability and fund it through the general fund.
    Otherwise I find the entire process to be the worst investment you are forced to make.

    But half of America never would and then we would be forced to support them. We cannot have the liberals dying in the streets. They block traffic.

    State the intent of CRT and then credibly back it up.
