Social Security-How it got stolen!
If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, this is the best visual presentation I ever saw... Now don't be mad at old people, just remember who did this when you vote
Franklin Delano. Roosevelt 32nd. President, Democrat Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945 Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.
Since many of us have paid in to 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 promises:
- Participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary
- The participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
- The money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year
- 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
- The annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
THEN
Dwight David Eisenhower 34th. President, Republican, Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961
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 w as 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.
WORSE STILL
Lyndon Baines Johnson 36th. President, Democrat Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) 45th. Vice President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001

--THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK
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?
Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) Democrat 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!
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!! |
