The Democrat Party is focused only on money and power - pure evil!

So this is why my SS mailings are in 16 different languages—including three Arabic languages...

Bush 43 signed into law the IRMMA law that puts a significant surcharge for one year on Part B payemt.

Foreigners who have paid into their own nations SS system can move here and use their SS crefits here and Americans can do the same.

This was signed into law by W.

IRMAA 2007 (a common typo for the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount), 2007 was the historic first year the Medicare premium surcharge was implemented.

Created under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, it required higher-income beneficiaries to pay a larger share of their Medicare Part B premiums.

If someone comes to the U.S. late in life after working most of their career in their home country:

If their country has a U.S. Social Security Totalization Agreement, their foreign work credits may be combined with U.S. credits to help them qualify for a partial U.S. Social Security benefit.

They generally must have at least 6 U.S. Social Security credits (roughly 1½ years of U.S. work) before the U.S. can use the foreign credits for this purpose.

The foreign work credits don’t become U.S. credits. The person can potentially receive a pension from their home country and a partial U.S. benefit.

If their country doesn’t have an agreement with the U.S., working there generally does not give them U.S. Social Security credits

I’ve worked since I was 8 years old while all these people had to do is just cross a border and automatically get social security and a bunch of other freebies.
What a pile of shit! And I’m paying for them too.
No wonder social security is going broke.
You health insurance rates rise also because part of the money goes to pay for them.
And grocery prices are higher because they get free CASH to buy groceries…….thousands a month. They can afford higher prices so stores keep raising prices.

After a brief look at “GINGERS” text/X post I see errors:..Point #2 for example...the income cut-off for SSA is not $90K, it is $184,500.

https://bsi.com/what-is-fica-tax-how-to-calculate-it-in-2026/

Also “she” doesn’t define “immigrant”...a naturalized citizen immigrant with 40 quarters of work credit into SSA is certainly entitled to SS.

With non-citizens it is a bit more complicated:

Also the SSA trust fund is intact and not in the “general fund”:

Classic “clickbaity”/stir the pot with questionable info. social media post.

I know for a fact that these illegals would claim to be 62 or older just to collect...they would claim lost paperwork.

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]

Let me try to understand this. Are the monies taken out for Social Security taxed when deposited, and then taxed again when withdrawn in old age?

“That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.”

Yeah, and don’t forget those 444 days when those goat-humper towelheads in Iran took our citizens for captives when some of us were barely teens. I despised this SOB Carter years before I got out of high school, and had no idea what a conservative or libtard was.

Voluntary! Up until Slick Willie, every IRS 1040 form told us our Tax system was one of “voluntary compliance”, not any more.

The American public has been lied to so often now, that if it were to cease, it would seem abnormal. The sooner we get started in that direction (with appropriate jail sentences, the better).
