The History of Social Security

---

If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, this is the best visual presentation you will find.  ....  Now don't be mad at old people, just remember who did this .... 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 who introducedthe 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, 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. 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'—so 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, not President Eisenhower, 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 moneyin Social Security Fundthat it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended or set aside for. -------------WORSE STILL----------- Lyndon Baines Johnson 36th. President,Democrat Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 toJanuary 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.       -------------------------------READ ON ------------------------------------- Question:   Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? Answer:  The Democratic Party. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------MOREOVER------------------------------------- William Jefferson Clinton (Bill Clinton) 42nd.

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 10, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US ... ------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK!!----------------------- James Earl Carter, Jar (Jimmy Carter) 39th  President, Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981 Question:   Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity paymentsto immigrants? AND MY FAVORITE:  ANSWER:  That's right! JAMES EARL CARTER, JR.  (JIMMY CARTER)  (DEMOCRAT, TERM OF OFFICE:  JANUARY 20, 1977TO JANUARY 20, 1981 AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.        IMMIGRANTS MOVED INTOTHIS COUNTRY, AND AT AGE 65, BEGAN TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS:   THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GAVETHESE 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 Awarenesswill 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 ONETERM!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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".                                  Thomas Jefferson I REMEMBER THIS TO BE TRUE, "SS" WAS ONLY TO BE USED FOR RETIREMENT.
