Social Security and how it was stolen






Franklin Delano. Roosevelt

32nd President, Democrat

Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945
Our Social Security

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,

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

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income
**********************
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:





Dwight David Eisenhower

34th President, Republican,

Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961

Insert by Vincent Peter Render,
If I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If I recall correctly, it was a democratically Controlled Congress.

From what I understand, Congress logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.








Lyndon Baines Johnson 36th. President, Democrat

Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969

Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?

Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969) and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.





Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction f or Social Security (FICA) withholding?



Answer: The Democratic Party





William Jefferson Clinton

(Bill Clinton)

42nd. President

Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.

(Al Gore)

45th. Vice President

Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

Answer: The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US .








James Earl Carter, Jr (Jimmy Carter)

39th. President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981
Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:
Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) (Democrat, Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981) 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!


AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!








Thomas Jefferson

3rd. President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781

'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have..'

It seems to me, these things must have been done cause it was the "will of the people", else they would have been run out of town on a rail.
The Government has themselves set up like the CEO's did when the anti-trust laws were allowed to fail their purpose, full entitlement even when the people/company is falling. Only when those who lead, are made to eat from the same plate as those who labor, is the house kept in order and balance is maintained.
I'm sure at the time, they thought SS was stable and could weather the drain, just as Mr.B thought putting SS into the stock market would benefit the system...
The Trillions of debt we load upon our children and grandchildren are deemed to be the necessary thing to do at this time, I'm sure history will show what a greedy lot we were down the road...
