Subject: Social Security
Our Social Security
Friends:
Many years ago in Seattle, two wonderful neighbors,
Elliott and Patty Roosevelt came to my home to swim on
a regular basis. They were a great couple full of
laughter and stories that today I continue to marvel
at. Both are now deceased, but their stories remain.
During the years of our friendship we had many, many
discussions about his parents (President Franklin D.
and Eleanor Roosevelt) and how his father and mother
never intended for the Social Security and Welfare
programs to turn out the way they are today. Elliott
used to say that if his mother returned to earth and
saw what the politicians had done to their programs
she would have burned all of them in hell.
Here is a story I received today regarding the Social
Security Program and I immediately thought of
Elliott's comments. Hope you will read this and think
about it.
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 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!
