Who are the thieves robbing Social Security blind?

It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and
show it to your family and friends.. 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, NOT FOR

IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

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

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

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
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?

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security
annuities?

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!



I think it's great that the republicans want to take "our" social
security away. Anyone who couldn't save up enough during their working
life to live a comfortable retirement and pay the three million dollars
their end of life care will cost deserves to be homeless, in the street
and eating dog food. It will be great for this country when the
republicans succeed in eliminating this evil program so those of us with
vast wealth can enjoy it without those pesky old folks using up our
resources and making us pay higher taxes.

And Ill bet you love having 20 million illegal aliens lined up for their
piece of the pie to!!

Your header information was forwarded to those keeping the List.

You'd better consult with your team of lawyers, Gunner. You just admitted to
conspiracy to commit...whatever you're threatening....and accessory.

Fortunately for you, you're full of ****. Otherwise, you would have just
crossed over the line.
