And speaking of which, here is a test... Subject: Social Security Test. QUESTIONS (1-6): 1. Who was President and which party took Social Security from a totally independent fund and put it in the general PORK BARREL fund so that Congress could spend it? 2. Which party put an income tax on Social Security? 3. Which party increased the income tax on Social security? 4. An immigrant who moves to this country at 65 gets SSI Social Security. Which party decided to give Social Security money to immigrants who haven't paid a thing into the system? 5. After all this, guess what political party told you that the OTHER political party wanted to "take away your Social Security"? 6. What political party has controlled Congress for over 40 years when these brainstorm ideas have been hatched? Taking away Social Security means to most folks taking our retirement "FUND" money and placing it into a general spending PORK fund administered by Congress, the taking of our money through taxes, then taking even more through even higher taxes and, finally, giving it to people who haven't paid a dime into the fund. ANSWERS (1-6) 1. It was Lyndon B. Johnson and the Democratic Party controlled House and Senate. 2 The Democratic party 3. The Democratic Party with Al Gore throwing the deciding vote during the Clinton years. 4. The Democratic Party gave that to them although they never paid any money into it. 5. Can you believe these guys...the Democratic Party told you that!!! 6. Those rascally Democrats. WAKE UP AMERICA AND SMELL THE COFFEE ! The voting for Congressional seats is coming up in just a few short weeks. Think about how important your vote really is! Think back to the last Presidential elections! Americans, IT'S TIME TO DO YOUR PART, time to be responsible, time to take back responsibility for OUR government. Americans, it's time to take our country back from those among us who would love to see the American system fail.
