History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

are able to manage things "so much better" than we can!  Huh?? With the post office in the
red, social security in the red, ALL of Washington in the red, how can that be???
Wake up, America!

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (and 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 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.
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 $
117,000.

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 in went to 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 theDemocratically
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 U.S.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

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.
 

But it's worth a try.  How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

I think we need to go after FDR, LBJ, Gore baby, Jimmy, and don't forget Clinton. How bout the entire District of Criminals? Haven't they been dying to fill their FEMA camps? Better yet, enroll all of em in the Agenda 21 Genocide program.
Democrats, Republicans. They're nothing more then 2 different wings flappin the same bird. As long as there are "Politicians" there will always be misery, suffering, death and wars.
