URGENT! Senators and Congressmen DO NOT PAY SOC. SEC - But Recieve Their Entire Salary After Retirement - MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've got to read this all the way through to the bottom.

I HEREWITH FIRMLY STATE THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER ISSUES, IF HE DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATION. THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE STANDING FOR ELECTION IN 2008.
LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE WITH ME ON THIS BY FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

KEEP IT GOING!!!!
2008 Election Issue!!

GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.


This must be an issue in "2008" Please! Keep it going.

----------------------------------

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 i t.

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 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 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 our employer). We can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.

Or, in other words, we would have to co! llect o ur 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.

Not only have they crafted their own golden retirements but over the decades they have expanded beneficiaries of "Social Security" while at the same time taking money from 'the trust' (which is nothing but a bunch of worthless iou's/ not even t bills to gain a paltry 4-5%). Why do you think they were so desperate to get 'your social security' into the stock market? It sure as hell wasn't for your benefit.
Then you have the criminals in Congress who get convicted of crimes, go to country club prisons and then collect that FAT pension while sliding into the private sector to reao even fatter deals. In the meantime the dollar is crashing, healthcare is imploding, the fake 'terror wars' continue (yes they are fake/ Israeli evidence is classified yet the Mossad had 5 agents filming the whole thing while the security clampdown is on the average citizen- no borders sealed, no port security increased, the same fake Iraqi 'intelligence' BS is being used against Iran and all the '2008' candidates have sworn allegience to Israel and are fighting to see who can be the most sociopathic. Also the SEC reports that insider trading is so out of hand they cannot police it; the EPA admits many polluters are dumping up to 4-5 times beyond legal thresholds but they do nothing; DOD is taking back injured veterans bonuses while 1 in 4 homeless is a vet. And now we are arming the insurgents in Iraq! And don't even get me started on CAFR's. The government through these CAFRS has become its own corporatocracy by virtue of stock ownership.
These bastards (right up to the top) should be forced into Social Security and as 'leaders' should lose all benefits when they are convicted of crime in office and should NOT be allowed country club prisons because what they are doing is the worst kind of treason- destroying the country from within.

Don't forget the excellent health benefits they receive for life either. Take that away, maybe there might be some real movement in reforming the health care industry.

Ron Paul has refused to collect any money from this lucrative Congressional Pension Program. He would vote to kill it.

This is BS, was BS the first time it was posted, still is. 90% of these stupid email forwards are BS. On myspace they have a nice little button that says "delete from friends" at the bottom of these (and all other) messages. I use that when someone sends me this crap.

No federal employees pay social security.

My sister in law works for the post office won't get social security, they have a different plan they pay into I think.

It is true that the senators and people at that level are eating off the trough we all pay in to and it's not right and it's too much since they are mostly already wealthy...

It's also a major fuck up that they have platinum health coverage with the best medical specialists at their beck and call and so many citizens can't even see a crappy dr.

Hey they don't even open their own car doors that alone pisses me off. They really are elite and expect to be treated like royalty.

Democrats started stealing the SS funds in the 60'
s to pay for the Vietnam war. Up until then SS funds were kept seperate from the "general fund". They discovered they can steal our forced retirement while we aren't looking. THEY HAVE STOLEN OUR RETIREMENT FOR 40 years if they were in the public world they would have gone to jail!!!!

If you think your SS witholdings is in a seperate safe place than your regular taxes think again. It all goes to the Federal tax collection agency in MO. <federal reserve>
