Your Social Security
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 kids. They need a little
history lesson on what's what.
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,
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"

AND MY FAVORITE:
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
Actions speak louder
than bumper stickers.
