“This is 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....it is, what it is!

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 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
                        ~

• The Democratic Party decided to start
  giving annuity payments to immigrants?

• AND MY FAVORITE:

• A: That's right!

• 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 wareness will

  be planted and maybe changes will evolve.

• But it's worth a try.
  How many people can YOU send this to?

• Actions speak louder than bumper stickers
