VOICEOVER: You know, the President wants you to take the word of a child when it comes to privatizing Social Security. Now we admit, he’s pretty impressive, but we thought you might want to hear from someone else…”
Fade into headshot of an wise looking articulate elderly man looking into the camera…”When I was nine my dad lost everything we had in the stock market crash that started the great depression. We had to live off friends and family. It was humiliating. My Social Security check makes sure that no matter what happens, I’ll be able to keep my basic human dignity. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to appreciate what you’ve got.”
