Social Security: Something else to Ponder
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 party took Social Security from an independent fund and put it in the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Richard Nixon ! and the Republican-controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?
A: The Republican Party
Q: Which party increased the tax on Social Security?
A: The Republican Party with Dick Cheney casting the deciding vote.
Q: Which party decided to give money to immigrants?
A: That's right, immigrants moved into this country and at 65 got SSI! Social Security. The Republican party gave that to them although they never paid a dime into it.
Then, after doing all this, the Republicans turn around and tell you the Democrats want to take your Social Security. And the worst part about it is, people believe it!
Pass it on please!
