History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. 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, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
An old Social Security card with the"NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"message.
Our Social Security
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
Incomes 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, and,
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 wepaidto 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 US
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
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. But it's worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?

Think About This: From The Religion Of Peace!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated
from reality that they imagine that
America can suffer defeat without
any inconvenience to themselves..
Pause a moment, reflect
These events are actual events from
history.. They really happened!!!
D o you remember?
Gee...I didn't know this...did you???
1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed
by a Muslim male extremist.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics,
athletes were kidnapped and massacred
by Muslim male extremists.
3. In 1979, the US Embassy
in Iran was taken over
by Muslim male extremists.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans
were kidnapped in Lebanon
by Muslim male extremists.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks
in Beirut were blown up
by Muslim male extremists.
6. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked
and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered
and thrown overboard in his wheelchair
by Muslim male extremists.
7. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens ,
and a US Navy diver trying to rescue
passengers was murdered
by Muslim male extremists.
8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed
by Muslim male extremists.
9. In 1993, the World Trade Center
was bombed the first time
by Muslim male extremists.
10. In 1998, the US Embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked;
two were used as missiles to take down
the World Trade Centers and of the
remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon
and the other was diverted and crashed
by the passengers. Thousands of people
were killed by Muslim male extremists.
12. In 2002, the United States
fought a war in Afghanistan
against Muslim male extremists.
13. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl
was kidnapped and murdered by---
you guessed it---Muslim male extremists.
No, I really don't
see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure
we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of
80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's
security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but
leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of
profiling.
Have the American People
completely lost their Minds,
or just their Power of Reason???
Let's send this to as many people as we
can so that the Gloria Allreds and other stupid attorneys along
with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel
ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award
winning story 'Forrest Gump'
so aptly put it,
'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'

OBAMA: The Power Hungry President
It is sad to have to say and repeat certain issues again but those of us that love this country must do that or else we will lose it to a man that wants to destroy this country as we know it. A man that cannot tell the truth, a man that says one thing and does another. We have a man as the leader of this country that wants to be a dictator and also wants to destroy this nation as we know it.
Obama does not respect our Constitution or understand it. His recent attack on the Supreme Court made it very clear, and this isn’t the first time Obama has attacked the court. He did it in his State of the Union speech two years ago. At that time, it was on a decision the court had made, not on an issue it was deciding. His arrogance and egotism to try to influence the highest court in the land should be extremely disturbing to the American people. He came as close as you can to intimidating and threatening the Supreme Court. The president warns the Supreme Court not to overturn his health care program. How dare he? Who does he think he is? He must have forgot the Constitution was created with three parts of government, the administration, the Congress and the court system headed by the Supreme Court? To call the court unelected individuals who should follow what the Congress and the president wants goes against the essence and real meaning of our democracy. Obama is sounding like a dictator of a third world country where a president in a quest for power attacks the elected legislative officials and tries to tear down the court system to take over a democratic system. That is exactly what he is doing and he would like to be a dictator.
The judicial system was upheld in the Madison vs. Mayberry over 200 years ago. Everything Obama does is calculated, premeditated, done for a purpose and political. He is setting up the Republicans and the Supreme Court for attacks if the court goes against him. There are a number of instances when presidents have disagreed with decisions of the court and have enforced the law. Obama said the law was passed by a large majority of the Congress and the court should acknowledge the will of the elected officials. What a big lie to say to the American people. The bill was passed by five votes in the House with all Republicans voting against it, and the Senate made the required 60 votes because Sen. Reid bribed the senators from Connecticut, Nebraska and Louisiana with pork programs for their states. It made it by just one vote. In all instances, the Republicans voted against the bill. What we have here is a clear picture of Obama attacking the institutions of our free democracy. He is not a dictator yet, but if he is elected to another turn he will be close to being one. He has no regards for any other branch of our government if they do not go along with him.
The Congress that was elected in 2010 to stop the spending and to stop Obama has been attacked and vilified by the president. He has done a hatchet job on them, criticized, belittled them, and run then down every chance that he gets. The health care bill carries attacks on religious freedom by forcing the Catholic Church to provide insurance for procedures that are against their conscience. The president can give waivers to unions, certain stores and other supporters but not to a religious organization. Why is that? He then tries to turn it into a women’s issue. It clearly was an attack on, our (Christian) religious freedom. Even the 5th circuit responded to Obama and reminding him (the want to be dictator) that there are three forms of government, in this country and they will do their part and he should do his. They ordered the attorney general to respond to a request on the powers of the court.
This is, clearly, an attack on our governing institutions by a power hungry president that wants to be more than just a president. If this man is elected for a second term LOOK OUT. We are already, under him, saying good bye to the country that we all love and if he is re elected there will be nothing left.
