Second , we agreed to add enough new revenue to maintain currently promised retirement income levels , but we devoted all of the new revenue to personal retirement accounts equal to 3 percent of payroll for every worker . Some of Bullethead 's remarks were really so fiery that I have always , since that time , been forced to look upon John Smith , who is still alive , in the light of a salamander . Third , we agreed that half of the revenue for the accounts would come from new worker contributions of 1.5 percent of payroll and half would come from diverting resources from the Social Security Trust Funds . If you bring in new revenue but put all of the net new revenue into personal retirement accounts , then you have a way to spread the burden across even current workers in terms of making extra contributions today , but to do so in a way that you can really be sure is going to be contributing to people ’ s retirement incomes in the future . Proposals to introduce personal retirement accounts as part of Social Security can be seen as an attempt to deal with this second challenge . Then again I journeyed far down away into another country where it was all one dim and vague lake , with a boundary-line of clouds . AFTER THE very minute and elaborate paper by Arago , to say nothing of the summary in ' Silliman 's Journal , ' with the detailed statement just published by Lieutenant Maury , it will not be supposed , of course , that in offering a few hurried remarks in reference to Von Kempelen 's discovery , I have any design to look at the subject in a scientific point of view . All the clouds were beneath my feet , or , if you please , spread between me and the earth . And we 'll ask that you summarize your remarks . Liebman : The benefit of having personal retirement accounts in the plan is that if we ’ re going to spread the burden across generations and start putting some extra revenue into the system now , we need to have a way to save that money so that it doesn ’ t get diverted to other purposes , as the current Social Security surplus often does .
