donparscale 641 Posted November 30 (edited) You have to check this out, I am not sure it is all correct. DON~~~ Who Took My Money ??? Actually, Democrat President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first day ones to misuse the Social Security account. They used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corps. Not the first or last time our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign nations. Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security and changes made. A 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 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. Under Democrat President 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 Democrats 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 Democrat 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.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. Actions speak louder than bumper stickers. HOPEFULLY, IT WILL OPEN A FEW EYES!!! Edited December 3 by donparscale Spelling 1 1 Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They dont debunk anything, they just change the wording like rather than moved to general fund its really a “unified budget” typical govt bs. Im sure ca has a similar myth website wording their so called surplus of funds when they have billions in unpaid obligations. Kinda like not paying yore credit card and saying you have tons of money in the bank from saving what you should have paid. did a quick search, the VA has a similar myth page. I bet thats a fun legalize read too Edited December 2 by sausage450r Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Immigrants who have not paid into the system does not get a check. 1 Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The teal pisser is the shitload of money i will have paid in and the whopping 800$ month if anything i will receive at 62. If given the chance to put away the same amount on my own with safe imvestments i’d retire like nancy pelosi. Unfortunately govt is TERRIBLE with our hard earned money. Left and right.
