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 the
independent "Trust" fund and put it into the General
fund so that Congress could sp! end 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?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and
the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this
co! untry, and at age 65, began to receive SSI
Social Security payments! The Democratic Party
gave these payments to them, even though they
never paid a dime into it!
Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and
violation of 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! Perhaps we are asking the wrong
questions during this 2004 election year!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will
evolve.
How ma! ny people can YOU send this to?
Keep this going clear up through the 2004 election!!
We need to be heard!
