TOOK
MY MONEY?
Actually,
Democrat President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first ones to
misuse the Social Security account. They used Social Security
funds to start the Peace Corps. Not the first or last time
our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign
nations.
Things
every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security and
changes made:
A
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card . . . 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.
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.
Under
Democrat President 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
Democrats 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:

Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend
it?

Senate.
Q:

Security (FICA) withholding?

The Democrat Party .
Q:
Which Political Party started taxing Social Security
annuities?
A:

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?
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.
