Know your Social Security Card --
Interesting.
Just in case some of
you young whippersnappers (& 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 SecurityFranklin 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'

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?
