How soon we have forgotten!

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

 1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary.

 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of
       their Annual incomes into the Program.

 3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program
       would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.

 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.

 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as
       income.

 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?

     Senate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social
     Security (FICA) withholding?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 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
     USA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

 This is MY FAVORITE:

 A: That's right! Jimmy Carter! And the Democratic Party of course!
     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 doing all this lying and thieving and violating of 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!
