Our Social Security
Franklin
Delano Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), 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:
Dwight David Eisenhower
34th. President, Republican,
Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961
Insert by Vincent Peter Render,
If
I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress voted to
remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for
Congress to spend.
If I recall correctly, it was a democratically Controlled Congress.
From
what I understand, Congress logic at that time was that there was so
much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be
used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.

James Earl Carter, Jr (Jimmy Carter)
39th. President, Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981
Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
Answer:
That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) (Democrat, Term of
Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981) 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!
William Jefferson Clinton
(Bill Clinton)
42nd. President
Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
(Al Gore)
45th. Vice President
Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
Answer:
The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice
President Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting
the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he
was Vice President of the US.
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. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
Sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

3rd. President, Democrat
