Social Security History

Our Social Security ;

Franklin Roosevelt, 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:

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

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

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



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

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.



AND MY FAVORITE:



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. 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?
