Social Security
 
Your Social Security
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 kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are Facts!!!
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 </ SPAN>
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? 

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. 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.
-Thomas Jefferson

Being the wrong time of year for me, I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly. But for most of the people receiving a social security check, they aren't being taxed on it. Even when they are, it's on a scale, and 85% is the minority. This is purely memory, so I could be wrong, but I believe it's only considered taxable when there is a certain amount of non-social security income.

Fuzzy, can you confirm or deny?
