Social Security History Lesson
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (and some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
��
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
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
��
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be
deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
��
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,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent
��
5.) That the
annuity payments to the retirees would never
be taxed as income.
��
Under Clinton & Gore
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’ —

Q: Which
Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party,
with Al Gore casting the
‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
��
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That’s right!
Jimmy 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,
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.
But it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
��
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
Just think, if we would have put that same money in our own savings account and were paid even a nominal percent in interest – we would be receiving a lot more than these people pay us for our money they are spending on illegals.
PLEASE DO KEEP THIS ONE ROLLING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
HOPEFULLY IT WILL OPEN A FEW EYES!
The Democrats forget – social security is ours – not theirs. It is time for them to keep their mits out of our pockets. They are not giving us anything – WE EARNED IT AND WE GAVE IT TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY FUND NOT YOU DEMOCRATS.

Reblogged this on Centinel2012 and commented:
I’ve tried to explain this to the dumb-ed down public so many times over the past 20 years that I gave up; but I’ll re-blog this anyway as it can’t hurt.
