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 anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR
IDENTIFICATION" message.
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,
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:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
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 John son 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.
