	The Black Commentator - Black Point Man for the Right: Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. - Issue 120
		Harold Ford is preparing to defect from the Democratic and Congressional Black caucuses in service to George Bush’s Social Security privatization scheme, which he has embraced in principle.
		What George Bush and surrogates like Harold Ford are threatening — and it is a monstrous threat — is to renege on Americans who have contributed heavily into payroll taxes for most of their lives, while maintaining obligations to the foreigners who finance chronic U.S. debt.
		Ford’s dialogue with sworn enemies of Social Security has led him to devise schemes to “target benefit levels to those who actually work longer” — a dagger in the heart of Black Americans, who are forced to work under less reliable terms of employment and with less compensation than whites.
