Social Security

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 o f 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 0A 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 20 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 George Allen'sbenefits!




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 see 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.

I'm hopeful but not confident that Social Security will survive. I wont be depending on it to make a difference in my life, but I've paid into it for years and want a little something back.

Uncle Bud remembered when Social Security first started up, and he always said that he was sure that he would never collect. Sure enough he died right after his 64th birthday right before he would have received his first check.

Major bummer. Thats like surviving a war as a soldier and dying in a plane crash on your way home.

We do need to give the ILLEGAL'S a better life. We should have it so good.

of course, they are the future of the country. the only ones who will be able to afford to live here are the unemployed and illegals

We are doomed.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain. Hey, what is this thread supposed to be about, anyway?
