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,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of
the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
Now 15.3% (7.65% from you, 7.65% from your employer or
the full 15.3% from you if you're self-employed) on the first
$90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into
the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
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,
Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and
Spent
and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never
be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security
can be Taxed
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?

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

AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity
payments to immigrants?
A: 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!
Are you one of them?
If enough people see 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!!!
A government big enough to give you everything
you want,
is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson
