Well, good people, it's all over but the shouting, hope you voted and happy with the results, if not, too bad. Boo Hoo ! In my opinion the only down side was Reid getting his seat back in Nevada, and I hope I spelled his name wrong. Anyway, for the good of America it is a great first step back to sanity, and the Costitution, And I only hope also that the left leaning Republicans will wake up and get with the rest and listen to what the people of America are saying, ...... Or Else.
Anyway, I received this thing on Social Security, and thought many would be interested since it timely and important to everybody, young and old alike. See y'all again real soon. Lots of cheer. CJ

Your Social Security: Just in case some of you 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 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 was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He 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 income 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 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 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 Democratic 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 USĀ
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. Maybe not, some
Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.
