Social Security  | | | | Someday all of us will "hit social security" hope the $$ is still there for us. Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), 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 parti cipants 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 Fe deral government to 'Put Away' -- you may be interested in the following: Dwight David Eisenhower 34th. President, Republican, Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961 Insert by Vincent Peter Render: 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 was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out or be used up for the purpose it was intended and set aside for. 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. Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? Answer: The Democrat Party. William Jefferson Clinton 42nd. President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. 45th. Vice President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? Answer: The Democrat Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US . 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: Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democrat 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 see this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will occur. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people will YOU send this to? Actions speak louder than bumper stickers. Thomas Jefferson 3rd. President, Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781 A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. Thomas Jefferson | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | I didn't write it, it was sent to me by a relative. Jefferson is one of my heroes, if we pay attention to all the great quotes by him and Franklin, and stuck to them, our country would still be great, what it was supposed to be. A government 'for the people, by the people' is gone, it is all about big-business, their interests come first. Rampant Capitalism. So many things can be changed but they aren't. Only if it takes away our liberites and freedom, then it's OK to change the laws. I am disgusted by my country. | | | | rodney850 (931)

| | Thelastwolf, It's not my country I'm disgusted with rather my government! The "voice" of the people is nowhere to be heard in the halls of congress! ALL of our career politicians have their own agendas and they try to shove them down our throats (successfully most of the time)! Consider the way our presidential candidates campaign for our votes. They contrive a policy statement and set a list of THEIR promises of what they intend to do for us when they are elected! How totally backward is that? Shouldn't WE be telling them what we want?(by the people) I know, I know, you are supposed to listen to the rhetoric and decide which one comes closest to your views but in the end it is their agenda and nothing else that matters to them! | | | | | | | Disability Application Free Social Security Disability Application! www.Allsup.com/Social-Security | add comment | | | |

| | Here in the Phili[pines, social security system was looted by the Estrada regime when he used pension money to invest into his friends' business. of course, it lost! Now, the present regime of arroyo is doing the same. lately, she assigned her crony to head that agency. When the workers will apply for their pension, there will come a time when they will get nothing! | | | | | | | thelastwolf113 (2987)

| | When social security was created the average life span of an American was 64. So most American when social security was founded were paying in but dying before the collected, and if they did live long enough they would die shortly after. Social security was turning into an economic boom for the federal treasury e.i more coming in than going out. So the idea was to fund projects with the surplus of cash. The problem that came out was Americans started to live longer and longer and longer. Add to this problem was people started having less chilred and having them later in life. It takes on average 19 years to create a new taxpayer, and you need have 2.1 children to keep population even. So if you wait until you are 40 to have children and only have one, when you retire and go onto social security your child is just starting to pay into social security. Here is a great quote Government should be small enough to fit into the Constitution. | | | | | | | thelastwolf113 (2987)

| | That is a great quote. I just read one that said something like this: When a government is big enough to give you everything you need, it's also big enough to take everything away. | | | | | | | Social Security Explained Get Information About Social Security Benefits and Disability Here.
