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 kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what .and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are Facts!!!
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,
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
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. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
Sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can
YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson

SRT=Surely Republicans Tell the Truth! NOT.....none of them tell the truth! They're POLITICIANS........you can tell when they're lying, it's when they open their mouths! It doesn't matter whether Rep., Dem., or Independent......they all blow gas!
Great Find. it doesn't matter how much you present facts to them, people will believe what the media tells them. The media says Republicans are jacking your social security, that is what Joe Blow believes
People have too much pride to admit they are wrong
I have been bombarding my extremely liberal friend with all of these facts and he can only refute them with shit parotted from the media... He has finally admitted that no matter what, he will never change, God could come down and tell him Democrats are liars and he would still stick by them...
With all that said, I think both Republicans and Democrats are largely full of shit. But when 99% of what you hear and read is aimed at bashing republican idealogy and promoting democratic ideology, now who is doing the brainwashing. Even a blind person should be able to see this

The whole idea of Democrat vs. Republican is to make us believe we have a choice, a voice and for you to "choose" a side. They are a front to keep us busy squabbling back and forth on who's right and who's wrong and the whole time our attention is diverted the fucking government is doing their own thing behind closed doors. It is ALL a bunch of horse shit. Fuck 'em all. Ron Paul was the only decent one of the bunch. Not pretty to look at, but at least the best choice.
