WHAT OF THOSE THAT DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED SOCIAL SECURITY .

The following is an email floating around on the Internet regarding Social
Security Fraud as seen from the eyes of a woman who lost two husbands before
they were able to retire.

Read this slowly so it sinks in!!!
 
KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ
IT... THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!
 
THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL
SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER
COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!
 
WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?
 
Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your
employer did, too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you
averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. Read
that again. Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny? We
are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank
to insure you and I that we would have a retirement check from the money we
put in, not the Government. Now they are calling the money we put in an
entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the
future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's
contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the govt. pays on the
money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
 
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it
would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65)
and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you
bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of
$2,976.40 per month.
 
Another thing with me.... I have two deceased husbands who died in their
50's, (one was 51 and the other one was 59 before one percent of their
social security could be drawn. I worked all my life and am drawing 100% on
my own social security). Their S.S. money will never have one cent drawn
from what they paid into S.S. all their lives.
 
THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE
MADOFF EVER DID.
 
Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just
because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn't make
my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
 
Remember Congressional benefits? --- free healthcare, outrageous retirement
packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick
days. Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security
retirement payments entitlements?
 
We're "broke" and we can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, or
 
Homeless. Yet in the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile
and Turkey. And now Pakistan......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of
DOLLARS!!!
 
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed S.S. income' receive no additional
federal aid nor do they get any financial breaks, while our government 
pour hundreds of billions of $$$ and tons of food to foreign countries!
 
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us
have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for
us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the
government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a
locked box, not part of the general fund.
 
Sad isn't it?  99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm in the 1% -- I just
did.
