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 family and friends.
They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether
you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are
Facts.
Social
Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card were not to be used for
identification purposes. Since nearly
everyone in the
United
States now has a
number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION,
was
removed.
An old Social Security
card with the "NOT FOR
IDENTIFICATION" message.
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 7.65%
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, and,
Under Johnson the
money was moved to
The
General Fund and
Spent
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

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, 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.
But it's worth a
try.
How many people can YOU send this
to?
Actions speak louder
than bumper
stickers

PLEASE
DO KEEP THIS ONE ROLLING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY IT WILL OPEN A FEW
EYES

TOUGHER IF YOU ARE STUPID."JOHN WAYNE"
I HAVE HEARD It SAID
"SOCIAL SECURITY IS IN DANGER OF RUNNING OUT OF MONEY
I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT
SAID THAT WELFARE IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY
