Subject: Social Security Tidbit

Since many of us are now receiving a Social Security check
every month or, hopefully, will be - and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we 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 Lyndon Johnson and the Democrat-controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?

A: The Democrat Party.

Q: Which party increased the tax on Social Security?

A: The Democrat Party, with Al Gore casting the deciding vote.

Q: Which party decided to give money to immigrants?

A: That's right, immigrants moved into this country at 65 and get Social Security. The Democrat Party gave that to them although they never paid a dime into it.


Is there a trend here?

Then, after doing all this, the Democrats turn around and tell you the Republicans want to take your Social Security.

And the worst part about it is, ...they expect you to believe it!


petty corrupted politics
vote tomorrow
beware that Democrats typically raise tax rates, and are surprised when total tax receipts come in lower
they never learned economics, not in the classroom, not in real life

given that tomorrow is election day, I thought I would break from my practice of stepping aside from political squabbling
