Robbing Retirement interesting facts
17 years ago
General
Thank you Mr. Gore, for breaking that tie vote with your asshold buddies, by taxing my retirement that I'd paid into since I was 16 years old.
Your Social Security
We all need a little refresher 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
Only 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 t he
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 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
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.
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!!!

now that we've got a bit of dirt on the democrats, does anyone got any dirt on the republicans?

Actually, I despise both major parties. The divide between supporters of the two is mostly a joke, since both are owned by by the business elite and are nearly indistinguishable from each other. Our pathetic two-party system (most democracies have a half dozen or more major parties) has become effectively a one party system. Our candidates are chosen by the media who are owned by the same corporations who fund the campaigns. Therefore, the cantidate who promises the most to the corporate sponsors is the candidate who wins the election.
I think if it wern't for the fact they think it will work they yell at Walter Reed hospital, FEMA and social security whith medicad and yet they want to expand the the system. Its like there saying "Ah yes the building is collapsing! lets make it bigger"
At last I check Hillary wanted to include illeagal imigrants
(was a while back and now everybody finaly knows how trust worthy her stances are, some could say there wider than larry cregs tell ya what)
hillary is a joke a congrass woman by popularity being a foolish mans flings wile in high position surounded by the press. she said it herself once before she will do anything to get back into the whitehouse. but she has not done much to saport the economy an im not talking about just the cost of gas. the economy is worse than the great depression and we in society are stil ussing the title its a ressesion. i guess in a way to make it sound not as bad as it is.
basically her goals are for herself and not for the progress of this country or sosiety
