Your Social Security
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
democrat
controlled House and Senate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the
income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding ?
A: The Democrat Party.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which Political Party started taxing
Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democrat 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:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter
and the Democrat 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 to keep it 'as is'.
AND CONGRESS GIVES
THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
A government big
enough to give you everything you want,
is strong enough
to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson
Please! Tell your friends.
