Who died before they collected Social Security?
Hmmm.I did not snopes this....
Want to see your representative do the "Washington-two-step". Ask this question.
Who died before they collected Social Security?
KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL
EVERY ONE HAS HAD THEOPPORTUNITY TO READ IT...
THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!
THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT
TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!
WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?
Remember, not only did you and I 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.
Read that again.
Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and me that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.
Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back.
If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows).
After 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) 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 MADOFF EVER DID.
Entitlement my foot; I paid cash for my social security insurance!
Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
Remember the benefits for members of Congress?
+ 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 social security retirement payments entitlements?
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 it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.
Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm in the 1%

Interesting reading. OK, Johnson raided SS to pay for Vietnam War, Bush's war raised ourdebt, and Obama has broken all previous debt and spending records. Cannot win with either party!

Minorities
We need
to show more sympathy
for these people.*
They travel miles in the
heat.
*
They risk their lives crossing a
border.
*
They don't get paid enough
wages.
*
They do jobs that others won't do
or are afraid to do.
*
They live in crowdedconditions
among a people who
speak a different
language.*They rarely see their families,and they face adversity all day ~every day.*I'm not
talking about illegal Mexicans
~
I'm talking
about our troops!
Doesn't it seem strange that somany are willing to lavish all kindsof social benefits on illegal’s,
but don't support our troops?
Wouldn't it be great if we tookthe $360,000,000,000 (that's billion)we spend on illegal’s every
year, and spent it on our troops!!!
Please pass this on;this is worth the
short time it takes!
A veteran is someone who,at one point in their life,
wrote a blank checkmade payable toThe United States of America for any amount, up to
and including their life. And gave me the right to send this to anyone that I please!

Christians Are Being Systematically Purged From The U.S. Military..... Sad if true!
Christians Are Being Systematically Purged From The U.S. Military |
Christians Are Being Systematically Purged From The U.S. Military Posted: 17 Apr 2015 04:27 PM PDT If you are a Bible-believing Christian, there is no place for you in Barack Obama’s version of the U.S. military. Christian service members all over the nation are being disciplined for reading their Bibles, talking about their faith publicly and encouraging others to live a moral lifestyle. And just saying the name of “Jesus” at the wrong place or the wrong time while serving in the military is enough to spark a national controversy. We live at a time when political correctness in America is wildly out of control, and thanks to Obama the U.S. military has become one of the most politically correct institutions in our society. Things have gotten so bad that dozens of top officers that did not agree with Obama’s views have been forced out of the military in recent years. The U.S. military is being transformed into an overtly anti-Christian institution, and for those of us that are Christians that is a very chilling development. Perhaps you think that the title of this article is a bit of an exaggeration. Perhaps you think that there is no way things could have gotten that bad. Well, I grew up as a military kid. In those days, the U.S. military was actually quite welcoming to Christians. But now things have completely and totally changed. For example, just the other day the Washington Times reported that large numbers of Christians are either leaving the military or never joining in the first place because of the “hostile work environment” that currently exists…
Could this be what Barack Obama wants? Could it be possible that he actually wants to discourage young Bible-believing Christians from serving our country? Because according to the Times, that is exactly what is happening…
If you are in the military today, you have got to be so careful about any expression of faith. Even the slightest slip up can cause the authorities to crack down on you. Just consider the following two examples which come from Newsmax…
You mean a Christian chaplain actually “used a Bible” and “promoted Christianity”? In the old days, doing those things was the very essence of what being a chaplain was all about. How in the world are you supposed to be a chaplain without “using the Bible”? It doesn’t make any sense. Like I said, the U.S. military is becoming an overtly anti-Christian institution, and it starts at the very top. Since he has been in the White House, Barack Obama has consistently slammed Bible-believing Christians. Obviously he considers them to be among his chief political enemies, and he barely tries to hide his animosity for them. We saw another example of this just recently…
One of the key people that the Obama administration has brought in to advise the Pentagon on matters of faith and the military is a man named Mikey Weinstein. Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and to say that he hates evangelical Christians is a huge understatement. The following comes from one of my previous articles…
With guys like that telling the Pentagon how to treat Christians, no wonder things have gotten so bad. Obama is “fundamentally transforming” the military, and those that aren’t willing to go along are being forced out. But don’t just take my word for it. In a previous article, I included these amazing quotes from retired high ranking officers… -Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely: “The White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He’s intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.” -Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: “There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him.” -Retired Army Lt. General William G. “Jerry” Boykin: “Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause.” -Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: “I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views.” Are you starting to get the picture? In addition, specific evangelical Christian groups are often being singled out as “hate groups” during military training sessions around the country. The following is from Fox News…
Needless to say, the AFA is not a hate group. But they are Bible-believing Christians that take their faith seriously. For Obama and his minions, that is a very bad thing. And as I pointed out the other day, we have seen this kind of thing since Obama has been in the White House over and over and over again. Christians are being demonized as “right-wing extremists” and “potential terrorists”, and if this keeps up it won’t be too long until we see overt persecution by the government. In the old days, Christians loved the military and the military loved Christians. But now they are being set directly at odds with each other, and for those of us that are Bible-believing Christians that has a very ominous ring to it. So what do you think about all of this?
