Social Security

Today a government task force announced that for the first time since its inception the Social Security fund will be in the red. It is paying out more money this year then it will take in. I wonder why??? Well lets look at the facts
Social Security, How it got stolen
These facts are correct.
If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, don't be mad at old people, just remember who did this when you vote....

Franklin Delano Roosevelt 32nd President, Democrat

Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945

Franklin Delano 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 in would go 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 who paid into FICA for years are now receiving a monthly Social Security check and are being taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'Put Away'-- you may be interested in the following:

Dwight David Eisenhower 34th President, Republican.

Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961

1958 was the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend. It was a DEMOCRAT-Controlled Congress. Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out or be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for. --

-----WORSE STILL------------------------------------------------

------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK !!--------------------------------------

James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) 39th President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981

Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Social Security Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter), DEMOCRAT, and the DEMOCRAT Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The DEMOCRAT Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into the Fund! 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, UNIFORMED citizens believe it! If enough people read 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 refer this blog to???

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

The Social Security Amendments of 1983 required all Members of Congress to participate in Social Security beginning January 1, 1984. For years Congress did not have to participate in Social Security but were able to stick their hands in it and use the funds for their pork barrell projects and to illicit votes from minorities and immigrants.

Guess who was the President that forced this change??

Ronald Wilson Reagan 40th President Republican

Members of Congress who participate in the congressional pension system are vested after five (5) years of service. A Full pension is available to Members 62 years of age with 5 years of service; 50 years or older with 20 years of service; or 25 years of service at any age. A reduced pension is available depending upon which of several different age/service options is chosen.
