COMMENTS ON SOCIAL SECURITY..MAN FROM MONTANA

MY MONTANA FRIEND E MAILED THIS TO ME TODAY ..
THIS SENIOR CITIZEN NAILED IT!

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. August, 2010.

Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana ... I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is !


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.




If you like the way things are in America , delete this. If you agree with what a fellow Montana citizen says, PASS IT ON!!!

IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE TO THE COMMON MAN BUT IT IS MUD TO THE CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN?? WHY?? ARE THEY SUPERIOR TO AMERICANS AND DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP "FRAUD,WASTE AND ABUSE" THAT'S KILLING US?? OR IS IT THAT THEY ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID AND THEY WILL NEVER GET IT??EITHER WAY THEY BETTER GET OFF THEIR A * * AND START CUTTING BEFORE AMERICA ENDS UP JUST ANOTHER THIRD WORLD COUNTRY LOOKING FOR HANDOUTS THAT WON'T BE COMING..

PERMANENTLY "REGULATE" 4 ITEMS

PERMANENTLY REGULATE 4 ITEMS AND ECONOMY WILL BE STABILIZED
.by John N Hart on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 11:38am.

TO GET WORLD'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS STRAIGHTENED OUT I SEE 4 ITEMS THAT MUST BE REGULATED AND HAVE A PERMANENTLY LOW AND STABLE PRICE FOR EVERYONE IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE..



FOSSIL AND CARBON BASED FUELS (OIL,GAS ,COAL,ETC)NECESSITY OF LIFE

WATER (NECESSITY OF LIFE ON PLANET)

HEALTH AND MEDICINE SERVICES (NECESSITY OF LIFE ON PLANET)

FOOD (ALL FOOD AND RELATED AGR PRODUCTS) NECESSITY OF LIFE



IF THESE ITEMS ARE STABILIZED THE ECONOMY WILL BE STABILIZED AND THE PEOPLE ON EARTH CAN RELAX. ALL OF THESE ITEMS FLUCTUAUTE DRASTICALLY AND HAVE BECOME SUCH POLITICAL PAWNS THAT IT'S TIME TO STOP THE NONSENSE AND JUST "CONTROL" THEM ..

"FROM THE GRAVE"

MANY YEARS AGO A WISE MAN SAID "ALL THINGS ARE DIFFERENT WHEN VIEWED FROM THE GRAVE"

THE MEANING OF THAT PHRASE IS QUITE SIMPLE..YOUR DEAD..YOUR IN THE GROUND ..BUT YOUR MIND IS STILL ALIVE AND WORKING AS IS YOUR SOUL..YOU CAN SEE YOUR LIFETIME OF GOOD AND BAD THINGS YOU'VE DONE AND YOU NOW SEE WHY:

WARS ARE MAN'S STUPID EGO ACTING OUT BY KILLING YOUR OPPOSITION

PEACE IS NOT EVER 100% POSSIBLE EVEN IN THE ANIMAL WORLD..IT'S A GOAL

LOVE IS THE MOST ENDURING FEELING OF ALL AND IT SHOULD BE CHERISHED..IF YOU SQUANDER IT YOU'LL LIVE TO REGRET IT

HATE IS NOT GOOD FOR BODY OR SOUL AND IS EGO AGAIN AT WORK..HATE
HASTENS DEATH

A HUMAN LIFE IS OVER IN MILLISECONDS NOT YEARS AND YOU BETTER NOT WASTE IT ON STUPID,FRIVILOUS STUFF THAT HASTENS YOUR DEATH

YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR FUTURE AND THE MOST WONDERFUL GIFT OF ALL..LOVE THEM AND TEACH THEM TO LOVE BEFORE THEY GO OR YOU DO.

THOSE PEOPLE YOU MEET TODAY YOU MAY "NEVER" SEE AGAIN ..THEY BECOME THE MEMORIES IN LATER LIFE AND BEYOND..MAKE THE MOST OF THEM.

TIME IS THE MOST PRECIOUS OF GIFTS ..DON'T WASTE IT..GIVE TIME TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU .IT MAY BE THERE LAST DAY ON EARTH..OR YOURS..

GOD,JEHOVAH,MOHAMMED,ALLAH,JESUS,ETC ETC ARE ALL THE SAME GOD USING ALIAS'S TO COMMUNICATE.. IF YOU BELIEVE IN ONE YOU BELIEVE IN ALL

AS I LOOK BACK I SEE SO MANY THINGS I DID WRONG BUT THE GOOD I
DID WAS SPEAK UP FOR MY CHILDREN AND MY FELLOW MAN..THE WRONG THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE ..I ONLY CAN LAMENT AND REGRET..

IT'S AWFULLY DARK HERE AND THERE IS NO "LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL" JUST THIS CONSTANT REWIND OF MY LIFE PLAYING ENDLESSLY..OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN..
THE END ..

UNLESS THIS CONGRESS BEGINS REAL,EARNEST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SIZABLE CUTS IN THIS HEMMORAGHING SPENDING DEBACLE YOU WILL GIVE US NO CHOICE BUT TO PUSH FORWARD WITH A THIRD PARTY AND INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE WHO "WILL DO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE"..YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO "REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA " AND THEIR WISHES..NOT YOUR WISHES..AND NOT MSM,EGGHEAD PUNDITS AND PROFESSORS AND IDIOT BOOK WRITERS.WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH OF THAT ,TOO..OBAMA ADMIN,CONGRESS (BOTH HOUSES AND BOTH PARTIES) BETTER SHAPE UP OR YOUR INVITING A NEW BREED OF AMERICANS IN CONGRESS ..THOSE WHO ARE "OF THE PEOPLE,BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE" ..AND TO ERIC HOLDER ..THE DETAINEES ARE CONGRESS'S BUSINESS ..SO BUTT OUT..

THE AMERICAN BUDGET BATTLE

WEL,HERE IT IS THE "ELEVENTH HOUR" AND WE AMERICANS STILL DON'T HAVE A 2011(YES 2011)BUDGET..ISN'T IS AMAZING THAT THE PRESIDENT,HIS ADMIN..AND 535 CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS SIT AROUND PLAYING POLITICS AND SCREAMING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AT EVERY TURN AND THEY CAN'T SETTLE ON A STINKING BUDGET..WITH ALL THE TIME THEY HAVE WASTED YELLING AT EACH OTHER,PUNCHING OUT THEIR RESPECTIVE SOUND BITES AND BULLS* * T,AND GETTING PAID FOR IT WHILE WE ALL LANGUISH IN HORROR THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES IF OUR DULY ELECTED OFFICIALS CAN GET THEIR COLLECTIVE HEADS TOGETHER..

HERE'S AN IDEA.. OPEN UP THE ENTIRE BUDGET "ONLINE" TO ALL AMERICANS.. LET THEM "CUT" WHERE NEEDED ANY WASTEFUL PROGRAMS,ETC AND KEEP WHAT WE MUST..IF THEY DID THAT (WHICH I KNOW THEY WON'T) WE WOULD GET A CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REAL FAST..

LET'S FACE IT.. WE HAVE OVERSPENT OUR MONIES AND IT'S TIME TO BITE THE BULLET..OR AS THEY SAY IN GREECE.. HEY IF IT HAPPENED TO US IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU..

SOCIAL SECURITY HISTORY LESSON

THE ONLY WAY THIS GOVERNMENT(ADMIN/CONGRESS) IS GOING TO ACT TO STOP THIS ABUSIVE CORRUPTION OF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS IS FOR CITIZENS TO CONFRONT THEM WITH THE "FACTS" ..TO MY KNOWLEDGE,"THESE" ARE THE FACTS OF HOW THIS "BULGING" ENTITLEMENT GOT THE WAY IT IS.. JNH

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO QUOTE ME.

History Lesson : Your Social Security Card



Just in case some of you young whippersnappers & some older ones didn't know this. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.






An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.



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:



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----



Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the

independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the

general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically

controlled House and Senate. Welcome to 2010.



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --



Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax

deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----



Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social

Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the

'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the

Senate, while he was Vice President of the US



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -



Q: Which Political Party decided to start

giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.

Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,

began to receive Social Security payments! The

Democratic Party gave these payments to them,

even though they never paid a dime into it!



------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------



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!
