I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: women will be the biggest losers in this culture war.

If you claim to believe in science, and also think this is ok, you know absolutely nothing about science, starting with biology

WHO TOOK YOUR MONEY? (A Good Reminder)

Who took my money?

Actually, Democrat President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first
ones
to misuse the Social Security account. They used Social Security funds
to start
the Peace Corps. Not the first or last time our money has been taken from
American citizens and given to foreign nations.

Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security
and changes made.  It’s easy to check out if you don’t believe it. Be
sure and
show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on
what’s
what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican.

*Facts are Facts.....*
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card
were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone
in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and
the message, *NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION* , was removed.

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA)
Program.
H*e promised* :

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary.
*No longer Voluntary*

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400
of their
annual Incomes into the Program. *Now 7.65% on the first $90,000.*

3) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would
be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
*No longer tax deductible*

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.
*Under Democrat President Johnson the money was moved to the General
Fund and Spent.*

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as
income.
*Under Democrats Clinton & Gore, Up to 85% of your Social Security can
be Taxed*

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:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent
‘Trust Fund’ and
put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
*A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and
Senate.*

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social
Security (FICA) withholding?
*A: The Democrat Party.*

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
*A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’
deciding vote as *
*President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.*

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to
immigrants?
*A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter 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!*

/If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be
planted and /
/maybe changes will evolve.  /Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

*PLEASE DO KEEP THIS ONE ROLLING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.  *
*HOPEFULLY, IT WILL OPEN A FEW EYES!!!*
