IT IS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY, KNOW THE HISTORY OF IT.
Just in case
some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it.
Be sure and show it to your kids.
They need a little history lesson on what's what
and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican.
Facts are Facts!!!
Our
Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt , a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.
He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program
would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent "Trust Fund"
rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore,
would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program,
and no other Government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees
Would never be taxed as income.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
Now receiving a Social Security check every month --
And then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of The money
we paid to the Federal government to "put Away" --
you may be interested in the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which
Political Party took Social Security from the Independent "Trust Fund"
and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A:
It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which
Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which
Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The
Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking"
deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which
Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
Began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
Even though they never paid a dime into it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around
and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this,
maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will Evolve.
Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully Sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS
GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
