I'm going to ask you about two legislative proposals on changing Social Security. Please indicate whether you would favor the proposal or oppose the proposal? Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's proposal would reduce the social security payroll tax by two percentage points between 2001 and 2004 and allow workers to put that money into a personal retirement account.
