Our Social Security Program

President Bush has made overtures since he has been in office about how our Social Security system is falling apart. He has claimed that it will be broken unless drastic and unpopular changes are put in place immediately. Please take the time to review the Social Security deal that was made with Americans when Social Security was first instigated. Follow the historical changes, as they were enacted and use your imagination to determine what changes you can expect your government to put in place for the future. In this election year, it is most important for all of us to be aware of where we are in history and make decisions aimed toward where we want to be.

Your Social Security Program

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 intothe 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:

The Social Security Program

Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?

Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

Answer: The Democratic Party.

Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

Answer: 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

Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?

Answer: 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!

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! This is an election year and well intending people are unable to make educated choices unless they take the time to see how we got to where we are as well as who got us there. The Social Security system is in bad shape and not one citizen alone can fix it. If we all work together, knowing how we became hoodwinked in the past, maybe we can turn this thing around.

THIS PROBLEM BROUGHT TO YOU BY CONGRESS WHO GAVE THEMSELVES

100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
