YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

 

 

 

 

This is a little history lesson that you won't see in the main-stream

  media--now or ever. Make a copy and learn these facts--they're relevant!

 

 

 

Be sure and show it to your kids. 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 was removed. The cards are not supposed to

  be laminated.

 

  

 

  An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"

  message.

 

  

 

  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,

 

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, and,

 

 

Under 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 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 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.
