![GlowSurfing's tweet photo. ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young ones (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.

California's gas tax just hit 63.4¢ a gallon, and when you stack sales tax, Cap-and-Trade, and environmental compliance fees, you're paying over $1.30 per gallon strictly in state mandates.
All that money, yet sitting on the 405 or 101 in standstill traffic for two hours every afternoon is still the baseline reality.
When a state charges you the highest fuel tax in the nation for the privilege of burning gas while motionless, it isn't a highway fund…..it's a subscription fee for gridlock.
@Susan223331 It does get very tiring, they need to STFU and sit down!!
$XRP
Most people are completely wrong
about how this reprices.
They’re expecting:
$2
$5
$10
That’s retail thinking.
What they’re not prepared for is this:
$100
$1,000
$10,000
$50,000
Not because of hype.
Because at some point,
$XRP stops being traded…
and starts being required.
And required assets
don’t ask for permission to move
LFGo !!🔥
If you have friends who are new to cryptocurrency and want to learn about $XRP, send this to them.
Fast, scalable, and built for institutions.
XRP is more than just a token; it is a cornerstone of the new financial system.
If you truly understand what is coming, please repost.
@PatLockwoo65250 That’s so true !! 🤣
Who would take that crap with all the possible side effects including death!!🤔
I'm old enough to remember when there were cigarette commercials on TV.
Then those commercials were outlawed.
Me thinks it's time to do the same thing with pharmaceutical commercials.
Who agrees? 🙋🏻♂️
