Social Security Plan

Yuval Rubinstein over at the Left Coaster has a great partial Social Security privitization plan.
Under my plan, registered Republicans would be covered by the Bush administration's private accounts scheme, while those of us who are registered Democrats will remain under the current system. Independents and voters belonging to third parties will be able to choose which system to belong. Therefore, us Democrats will serve as the control group, while the average folk in the Republican party will serve as the test subjects for the president's plan. This side-by-side comparison will tell us a great deal about which pension scheme is more beneficial, as in the Chilean example.
Put your money where your mouth is. We would see how many Republicans are really part of the Cult of Bushco.
