2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate
and 1/2 of the house of representatives. It would be nice if congress
got the message; the voting taxpayers are in charge now
.
Social Security 2009
LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN
WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET.
PLEASE FORWARD
TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!
KEEP IT GOING!!!!
Propose this in 2009:
S TART A MOVEMENT TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON
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 congress person 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 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 to them 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 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.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Better yet......
How many people
WILL you send this to ?
