Franklin Roosevelt , a Democrat , introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

Franklin Roosevelt , a Democrat , introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

He promised:

1) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,.

It is 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. 113,700.00

3) That money that participants elected to put "voluntarily" into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible.  

4) That money which participants paid would be deposited into an 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.

Under Johnson the money was moved to  The General Fund and spent.  [Now this is where somebody should have been impeached or gone to jail for fraud and   malfeasance of office.]

5) That annuity payments to retirees would never be taxed as income.

Under Clinton & Gore , policy was established that 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 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 U.S. 

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?  

(AND MY FAVORITE):  

A: That's right!
Jim my 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 to get votes, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

What makes these facts really crippling to our nation is that uninformed citizens believe it!  

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. 

 

It's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to? Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
