Bet some
of you didn't know this

Your Social Security     

Just in case some of you young
whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
 

 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 of 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
o nly 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 in to 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  U.S. 

----------------------------------------------------

Q: Which political party decided to start giving
annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right! 

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.

Immigrants moved into this country, and at age
65, they 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!!!
