DID U KNOW

DID YOU KNOW


IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE.........


DID YOU KNOW?
Actually, President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first ones to misuse the SS account. They used SS funds to start the Peace Corps. Not the first or last time our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign nations.

Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security and changes made.

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

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 participant selected 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 only to learn that we are getting taxed on 85% if 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 US.
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
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!
AND MY FAVORITE:
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!


PLEASE DO KEEP THIS ONE ROLLING . . . ACROSSTHE COUNTRY.


HOPEFULLY IT WILL OPEN A FEW EYES!!!!

Actually, I have received that in the past, I did fact check it and haven't been able to find anything untrue about it.

The statement, "participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program" is a little misleading in that the actual law was different from what Roosevelt promised, Just as the, "it will be voluntary" statement but then we understand that. Remember, "the cost will be cut in half", "if you like your plan you can keep your plan", "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor".

obummer got away with those lies, even in the age of instant information. Imagine how much easier it was for Roosevelt to lie and get away with it.

You probably need to do a BETTER job fact checking if you can't find anything untrue.

So, smartass, show us your proof that there is something untrue.

Well Herb it actually starts in the opening assertions. It wasn't until the 6th issuance of the ssan card in 1946 that the card stated " for social security and tax purposes" not for identification.
This went away inv1948, returned in 1961, and went away permanently in 1972, NOT 1980.

Now since this FACT was SO easy to find, I would assume even you could have found it IF you actually fact checked. Since YOU didn't I'll have to assume that once again you've committed a blatant lie when you claimed you did.
So in this instance I think I prefer being called a smart ass cause it beats being SHOWN to be a liar
