I am going to answer your question with some TRUE FACTS..SS is not only unfair to women,it is unfair and downright corrupt to everyone who has paid into it..
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 'Trust Fund' and put it in to 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 U.S under Clinton.
--------------------------
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,
they 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? Actions
speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE
TERM!!!
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong
enough to take everything you have
