Whatya thinka this?
Subject: 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 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?
This is MY FAVORITE:
A: Jimmy Carter! And the
Democratic Party of course! 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 doing all this lying and thieving
and violating 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!
