History Lesson on Your Social Security Card Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& 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' -- 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? 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. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

We're here from the government and we're here to help.
Any word or term with an "ism" can't be good. e.g. Conservatism: reluctant to accept change: in favor of preserving the status quo and traditional values and customs, and against abrupt change. (basically greedy, selfish, self serving) This goes against everything America stands for, and not something any self respecting person should support. Remember this;
"PROGRESS" is our most important product and set the standard for the world, until the reigns of this Government and the Republican Party fell into the hands of the cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men and enabled them subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion. That's what men like Papa Bush, Cheney and Rove did to this country. "Progress and the Progressive movement would have personally put them out of business.

By the way, all thee Nations in the world use a system of Social Security similar to America's except that in Europe under Socialist-Democratic countries the averge CEO/Owner makes 40 times more than the Workers. In America the average CEO/Owner makes 400 times more than the Average Worker. That, not the worker, or the Unions, is why America can no longer compete in the world.
This information should be plastered ALL over the news. Every single American should be aware of this, but we ALL know the media will NEVER report this as worth while news.
If you were black in 1935, you were only supposed to live to age 53.1 years.
Franklin D Roosevelt was a racist, as was Woodrow Wilson. The retirement age of 65 was selected to exclude almost all blacks. The most likely recipients of social security were white widows and spinsters. The retirement age in European national pension programs ranged from ages 50 to 55 at that time.
Only very few were supposed to ever draw social security. It was an election tool. Improvements in medicine and nutrition extended all our lives so that a baby born today can expect to live to almost 80. The majority of people born after 1950 will reach the age to receive benefits. Social security is reaching the point of no longer being sustainable...and nobody was really supposed to ever get it.
Roosevelt, Wilson, the Democratic Party have been and still are the true racist in this country. Nothing new there.
I do agree (and love) your last line. Nobody was supposed to ever get it. SS was never more than a ponzi scheme that would have made Bernard Madoff proud. Yes, FDR and all the Democrats through the years have pulled the wool over the peoples' eyes to this day
At that time, it was also inconceivable that the birth rate would decline. It was not a retirement account, it is a wealth redistribution pyramid. So much for government planning.
That's not how things worked out.
