>> 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 we paid to the Federal government to 'put
>> away' -- you may be interested in the following:
