Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. Many years ago they voted in their 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 their same pay until they die, except it may be increased time to time for living adjustments. For example, former Sen. Bradley, and his wife may be expected to draw$7,900,000.00 with Mrs. Bradley drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of her life.Their cost for this plan is zilch. You and I pick up this tab for this plan. This fine retirement plan is funded directly from the General Funds of the U.S. Treasury. OUR tax dollars at work. Social Security,which you and I pay into every payday for our own retirement, with and equal amount matched by our employer, we can expect to get an average of $1000.00 or better per month from OUR SS plan, or we would have to collect our benefits for 681 years and 1month to equal Bradley's benefits. Imagine for a moment that you could structure a retirement plan so desireable that people would have extra amounts deducted from their pay to enhance their own personal retirement income. A retirement plan that worked so well, that Railroad Employees, Postal Workers, and others who were not in the plan would clamor to be included. This is how good Social Security could be, if only one small change could be made. That change would be to jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan out from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into Soc.Sec. plan with the rest of us, then watch how fast they would fix it. If enough people receive this, maybe a seed will be planted and maybe good changes would evolve. Pass it on.
