What the hell is wrong here?
Remember, not only did you contribute to Social
Security but your
employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged
only 30K over
your working life, that's close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value
of $4,500 per
year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the
govt. pays on
the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you'd have
$892,919.98.. If you
took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last
better than 30
years, and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you
bought an
annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per
month. The
folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff
ever had.
Foot Note : in 1964 Pres. Linden Johnson put Social
Security into
the General Fund & took it out
of the Lock Box. In 1993, Pres Bill Clinton made
Social Security
taxable. You pay tax on 85% of SS.
Entitlement my ass , I paid cash for my social
security
insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money , doesn't make my benefits
some kind of
charity or handout !! Congressional benefits , aka. free healthcare ,
outrageous retirement
packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick
days , now
that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements
!!!!!!.....scroll down..............

What the HELL's wrong???
Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two
articles on the
front page side by side :
1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit
2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS
can attend
college and get benefits.
Why don't they just deport them when they
arrive to
register?
3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly
costs to
Calif Taxpayers from Illegal's using Hospital
Emergency Rooms for their general health
care -At just
one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year!!!
Someone please tell me what the HELL's
wrong with all
the people that run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors,
Veterans,
Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????
In the last months we have provided aid to
Haiti , Chile
, and Turkey . And now Pakistan home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of
DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed
income' receive
no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious
organizations pour
Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an
entitlement
even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now
when its time
for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the
government borrow
from it in the first place?
We have hundreds of adoptable children who
are shoved
aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless
without
shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds,
and mentally
ill without treatment -etc,etc.
YET......................
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of
Haiti on 12 TV
stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding,
doctors and
medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the
same support
they give to other countries.
SAD?
YEAH, OK, SO WHEN DO WE GET PISSED AND
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?????
99% of people won't have the guts to
forward this.
I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did
