History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

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 anyway and the message was removed.

An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.
Our Social Security

Frank lin 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, and,

Under 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 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:

The liberal agenda is to make as many people as possible dependent on the government in order to remain in power. One way to do this is to get people to think that they are entitled to every and any government program it dreams up. ;)

Side: Damn the democrats

The government loves control and power. That why is expands every year despite who is in office, but mostly the Democrats.

One way is entitlements programs. Make the useless feel good and potential voters by screaming HOPE and CHANGE.

Side: Damn the democrats
1 point

Honestly,I'm at the point to where I want to say damn the democrats and the republicans. The Bush administration all ready did their fair share of damage to the U.S. As I'm sure everyone is very well aware of,Bush was a republican. Now,the Obama administration is in office and further doing the damage that the Bush administration caused. What provokes me is the fact that this new health care bill is the begininng of the destruction of America. I just find it sad that all we can do now is sit back and see what the democrats can do.

Side: Damn the democrats

it seems that the Dems want to control and tax everything. Dems want to create new laws, but lack the knowledge of how to implement them.
