Yea, follow the Democrats and liberals!!
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.
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 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?
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?
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!
The Democrats just give your $$$ away
I feel so safe and secure about my future, ahh heck mine is screwed who am I fooling.

Right, we've been progressively bent over by politicians and the elite club they belong to and some of you reading this actually think you can tell which ones won't be sticking it to you while they have you bent over....Spidey wrote:It’s called “progress”.
Have some consideration for your fellow citizens and flush the damn bowl we call Washington this November and every November after that until the turds are gone!

you missed the whole point of the OP post didnt you?null0010 wrote:Oh yes, those **** elite politicians and their elite club are beating us over the head to give us retirement money. What the heck are you talking about? You honestly don't like Social Security? You don't want supplemental income when you're old and retired?

Re:
Over the next 20 years or so - nothing can be done because the money is gone and the feds are borrowing to make the payments that are currently due. For the far future, put it back to the way it was in a trust fund and let it recover. I wonder if the Federal Government can be charged with a ponzi scheme.null0010 wrote:Solutions?
