A history lesson no longer permitted in public schools or the liberal press. Facts are facts.

Social Security, How It Got Stolen 
If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, this is the best visual presentation I've seen... Don't be mad at old people, just remember who did this when you vote....

Our Social Security                                                            
Franklin Delano. Roosevelt

32nd President, Democrat 
Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945                        Franklin Delano. 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 in would go 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

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. 
Since many of us who paid into FICA for years are now receiving a monthly Social Security check and are being taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal Government to 'Put Away'-- you may be interested in the following:                                      
                                                              
Then:                                                          
                                                              
Dwight David Eisenhower 
34th President, Republican. 
Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961                    In 1958 Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

It was a Democratic-Controlled Congress. 
Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.                                
                                                              
                                                              
WORSE STILL                                                            
                                                              
Lyndon Baines Johnson 
36th President, Democrat 
Term Of Office:November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969                    Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund'and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?

Answer: It was President Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrat, and the Democratic-controlled House and Senate.                                  
                                                              
Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? 
Answer: The Democratic Party.                                                          
                                                              
THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK                                                          
James Earl Carter, Jr. 
(Jimmy Carter) 
39th President, Democrat 
Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981                    Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Social Security Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE: 
Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter), Democrat, and the Democrat Party. 
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!  The Democrat Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into the Fund!                                       
                                                              
And Then…                                                              
                                                              
William Jefferson Clinton 
(Bill Clinton) 
42nd President 
Democrat 
Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001                            Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. 
(Al Gore) 
45th Vice President 
Democrat 
Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001                           
                                                              
Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? 
Answer: The Democrat Party, with Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore)  casting the 'tie-breaking' vote as President of the Senate.                                                         
                                                              
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.

But it's worth a try.  How many people can YOU send this to? 
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers. 
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!                                                             
                                                              
Quote by Thomas Jefferson
