did you know...
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.
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
USA.
--------------------------------...Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to
immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter! And the Democratic Party of course! 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 doing all this lying and thieving and violating of the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
thought you'd want to know.
