SOCIAL SECURITY:

(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society.They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own

benefit plan.

In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.

Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.


Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH....

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.

Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's benefits!




Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to:


Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us


then sit back...


and watch how fast they would fix it.

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.



How many people can YOU send this to?


Better yet.....


How many people WILL you send this to

[Time2Surrender]

Yup.I copy/pasted this and sent it to a few people.Icluding my father who thinks Bush is his hero.

Let's Rmind The Elected Congressmen Who They Work 4. Tell Them Our Social Security Goes So Do They. Let Them Get By On Private Pensions And Social Security Like We Do. Matter Of Fact, I've Always Liked 1 Term Your Done. Too Much Temptation When, Someone Is Willing To Pay 300 Million Dollars So You Can Have A 300 Thousand Dollar A Year Job. Hmmm Passing A Law To Eliminate Lobbiest Might B A Good Start.

I'll pass it on for sure!

AARP, Rock the Vote Fight Bush Social Security Plan
by Frank Langfitt

Morning Edition, February 3, 2005 · The American Association of Retired Persons is lobbying against President Bush's proposal to allow people to put a portion of their Social Security savings into private accounts. The powerful senior citizens group has found an improbable ally in their fight -- Rock the Vote, the youth get-out-the-vote organization promoted by MTV

Ask our posters in England what happened when, they privatized their retirement!!!!



I have to keep this going. many people are disabled around the United States. Social Security is their life line. For years the United States has given aid to those countries in need. For what ever reason, President Bush thinks this needs to be done away with.

Don't let this happen voice your opinion to your congressmen and women

Who among you wants someone in the US to go hungry?
