Description

The ideal of an `ownership society' is deeply rooted in the American psyche. Americans have long associated ownership of homes, farms, and businesses with independence, security, and dignity. U.S. President George W. Bush recently proposed several initiatives that expand this idea of ownership, promoting policy that will allow Americans to `own' their health plans or `own' a piece of their retirement.
