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: 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
democratically 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 Democratic Party, with Al Gore
casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote
as President of the Senate, while he
was Vice resident of the U.S.
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.
