subject: Who Ruined Social Security

Even if it was not an Unworkable scam here are some Facts about WHO really
screwed over Social Security*****

Social Security: How It Got Stolen

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
32nd President,
Democrat
Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945
Franklin Delano. 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 in would go 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.
GOOD TO HERE!(WELL Almost if it was not a Ponzi Scam)

Since many of us who paid into FICA for years are now receiving a monthly
Social Security check and are being taxed on 85% of the money we paid to
the Federal government to "Put Away" you may be interested in the rest of
the story

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 President Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrat, and the
Democratic-controlled House and Senate.
36th President, Democrat
Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969

Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for
Social Security (FICA) withholding?
Answer: The Democratic Party.
Worse still William Jefferson Clinton
42nd President,
Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001

He was Assisted by 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 Democrat Party, with Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al
Gore)  casting the "tie-breaking" vote as President of the Senate.

And the straw that broke the camel's back!
James Earl Carter, Jr.
39th President,
Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981

Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Social Security
Annuity payments to immigrants?
Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter), Democrat, and
the Democrat Party.  Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments!  The Democrat Party gave these
payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into the Fund!
Finally, believe it or not!
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!!!

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough
to take everything you have."
Thomas Jefferson
3rd President, Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781
