History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

History Lesson on Social Security. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure to read this and be the voice for truth. 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. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,.....

Truth today is that Social Security is 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,

Truth today: Now you pay 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,

Truth today: 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,

Truth today: Under 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.

Truth today: 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 U.S.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: 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!

Rick Perry - Near Top of the Republican Presidential Candidates

The latest turn of the 2012 Republican Presidential campaign was when Texas Governor Rick Perry formally entered the field with an announcement in South Carolina, while the previously announced candidates (excepting Mitt Romney) traversed Iowa looking to pickup momentum with the Iowa Straw Poll. After the straw poll it became apparent Rick Perry's entrance helped narrow the field to three: Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney and Ricky Perry. I know, I know some will argue that the cranky old isolationist whiner Ron Paul is still in the mix. My favorite, Herman Cain, is about fifth in most polls. And of course former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty bowed out, suprisingly so, after a fairly good showing in Iowa,....if that straw poll means anything.

With Rick Perry, the Country gets a candidate who speaks his mind, often from the cuff providing the press with many unique stories, some they spin, and some they don't need to because of what Perry says. However outspoken Rick Perry is, there is no mistaking the fact that Texas is heading into the economic downturn wind with sails flying high, while most other states, and certainly this Country, is flying out of control heading towards a cliff.

All in all I could easily support Rick Perry is he turns out to be the Republican candidate, not because any change from Obama would be better,.....that is absolutely true, but Perry has a mind set and beliefe in small Federal government and States rights.

From a Yahoo! article on Governor Perry, web link posted below:

Perry laid out these proposed innovations to the founding document in his book,Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington. He has occasionally mentioned them on the campaign trail. Several of his ideas fall within the realm of mainstream conservative thinking today, but, as you will see, there are also a few surprises.

1. Abolish lifetime tenure for federal judges by amending Article III, Section I of the Constitution.

2. Congress should have the power to override Supreme Court decisions with a two-thirds vote.

3. Scrap the federal income tax by repealing the Sixteenth Amendment.

4. End the direct election of senators by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment.

5. Require the federal government to balance its budget every year.

6. The federal Constitution should define marriage as between one man and one woman in all 50 states.

7. Abortion should be made illegal throughout the country.

The Results of Disarming the People

Watch these first hand accounts of how the British have been disarmed and the tyrants who have been eroding these rights for years. The outrageous gun laws in England left many unprotected during the recent riots in England. How would you feel if say, ten thousand people rioted near you demanding some sort of government program? It could very well happen since the U.S. has 20% of the population on food stamps and government welfare and the gravy train has got to end for the sheer simple fact that we are running out of money.

Don't think it can happen here? Anything can happen here in the U.S. All it takes is for good men to do nothing.
