A "HISTORY" refresher course - REMEMBER WHO DID THIS?!

Hmmm, a read such as this should make you rethink your position. Maybe Liberals / Progressives want to change this history too.

If there is anyone out there who doesn't have a clue, this is the best presentation that I can give to explain it. Now don't be mad at us "old" people, but just remember who did this.


Our Social Security
Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), a Democrat, introduced 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:


----------THEN---------


1958 is the first year that Congress, not President Eisenhower, voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

It was a democratically controlled Congress.

Apparently 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.

By the way, it was President Kennedy who used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corp.


------------WORSE STILL-------------


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?

Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat,Term of Office: November 22,1963 to January 20, 1969) and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.


(Are any of you seeing a theme beginning to develop here?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

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: You guessed it. The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 10, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US .


(I guess he decided to take the day off from "inventing" the Internet to cast that vote.)


THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK!!!!


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


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!

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

PLEASE!!!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens actually believe it!


If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe real changes that ALL LEGAL AMERICANS can agree on. I doubt it, but then what do I know besides "fuzzy math" and history?

(Heck, I'm still recovering from the whiplash received from Al Gore's "LOCK BOX" idea for our economy.)

If responsible voters on the Democratic Party won't listen to the facts we Republicans want to share with them, then maybe they will believe one of their own.


Thomas Jefferson, 3rd. President and a Democrat, once said;

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have".

If they (the democratic youth) still feel that President Bush stole the 2000 election, just wait another 30 to 40 years when it will be their turn to receive Social Security Benefits and find out there isn't any.

And as for "Obama Care"? Well..........I wonder what their excuse will be or just WHO they will blame when it's their turn to be euthanized for the "GOOD OF THE PEOPLE" since there isn't anything they'll be able to do about it?

Some will see it as "KARMA".


I think I'll call it "POETIC JUSTICE".
