What The Democrats Don't Want You To Know About Social Security

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 party took Social Security from an independent fund and put it in the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic-controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?

A: The Democratic party.

Q: Which party increased the tax on Social Security?

A: The Democratic Party with Al Gore casting the deciding vote.

Q: Which party decided to give money to immigrants?

A: That's right, immigrants move into this country and at 65 get SSI Social Security. The Democratic Party gave that to them although they have never paid a dime into it.

Then, the Democrats have the gall to turn around and tell you the Republicans want to take your Social Security and the worst part about it is, people believe it! This must be a 2004 Election Issue.

Why that dirty &##@! DemocRats! I'm on SS and it's hard enough to make it nowadays!

How can this be? I thought they kept it in a lock-box?

The Democrat Obstructionist Party Empire is very adept a doing these kind of deeds and covering them up or blaming someone else.
I have said in here before on many occassions that the DOPEs are being led by those who are diabolical like Daschle,Kerry,Pelosi and the likes . Their only goal is to take over and make America a Socilist country or to destroy us. Make no mistake about it power and control is their only goal and they are very willing to destroy America if they dont have their way.
Just look into the eyes of Daschle and Pelosi and you can see they are diabolical. On few occassions they will look normal and I suspect they are on some kind of medication. If you think I am wrong just look!
You have a group that were missing since 9-1-1 and this same group is pushing the race card to turn the African American community against this country along the lines of cuts in social programs to them. It is all about control and power and make no mistake about it there are many in this country they are more interested in themselves and what they can get rather than for the overall good of America.They are very willing to divide and conquer.They really want this effort to fail so they can gain control next election. That is their one and only goal and dont think for one minute they are not capable of sacrificing our troops for their own gain.
Americas greatest enemy comes from some of the so called leadership in this country. I respect their right to disagree but to act like this when we have young people in harms way is not only disgusting it is downright treasonous.

Q. Which party plans to extend benefits to "same sex partners" when they get the opportunity?

I believe this might now be part of the socialist democRAT platform.

Q: Which party constantly complains about the problems with social security, and now despite holding the presidency, senate and house still manages to do nothing about the problems?

See Cato's Social Security website or SocialSecurityChoice.org for all kinds of info on social security, and why the future is in choice. For the unconvinced, try googling "Galveston County" AND "social security". Rather stunning.

That's right, immigrants move into this country and at 65 get SSI Social Security. The Democratic Party gave that to them although they have never paid a dime into it.

Although the SSI program is administered by the Social Security Administration, the funds do not come from Social Security or the payroll tax. The funds come from general revenue.

[Blood of Tyrants]

How much money is actually on deposit in "your" account?

NONE! Not one red cent. The money was taken long ago and used in the budget. All you have is a special IOU from the Treasury that is worthless.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

With all these new posts, it seems that we are seeing the SS fraud Big Time!

[alloysteel]

Doesn't matter where the funds come from. Anything that diminishes the general fund, likewise diminishes the funds available for Social Security payout, since they are now all commingled. All part of the same "Ponzi scheme" upon which the Social Security fund was originally founded. The original idea (from the "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck of Germany) was that a pension would be paid to the laborer after reaching the age of 65. Unfortunately for most of the participants in the plan at the time, well over half the contributors died before reaching 65, and of those who did reach that age, they only collected for a very few years at most. It was the rare former laborer who reached the age of 70, and almost nobody lived to be 80.

Then modern medical science has to get in on the act, and public health improved to the degree that a vast majority of people reached their 65th birthday and beyond. That is the push for restricting health care through Medicare. The oldsters will die off faster if health care is delayed or the frustration level with using the system is driven so high that even people needing attention do not seek it. Single-payer health plans would simply accelerate the same situation for everybody, resulting in shortened average life spans, and reduced payouts from Social Security and Medicare.

And you thought the venomous viper of a spouse to the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" was promoting her variety of health care programs because she felt compassionate toward the poor impoverished working people?
