I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
@OccupyDemocrats Didn't the tRump administration just start allowing horses to be butchered and processed? Eat that cheap ground "meat " at your own risk. There's no guarantee it's gonna be beef.
@cspan@RepRaskin While the people in America are busy arguing over being Democrats or Republicans our true division is between progressive and regressive government. Some wish to look to the future to create new answers to new problems while others look to the past to find scapegoats.
@michaelharriot White privilege allows those who enjoy it to see Amerikkka through Rose colored glasses. They have no desire to learn the true history of this country.
@AmoneyResists@charliekirk11 After watching 3 minutes of Charlie Kirk's idiocy and racism I can say without a doubt that the world is better off without him being in it. May he rest in shit for all eternity.
#JoeBiden had the lowerst #BLACKunemployment in history at 4.8% in April 2023, BLACK #unemployment under #trump is now at 8.3%
But #Biden was the problem 🤔🤨
“If we had to give Donald Trump’s economy a grade, it would be an F. Fail fail fail fail fail,” #NAACP President Derrick Johnson told theGrio.
The Black unemployment rate increased yet again in November, according to new data from the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics.
The economy continues to show signs of a slowdown in hiring, disproportionately impacting Black workers in the United States.
According to the latest job numbers, the Black unemployment rate reached 8.3%, the highest it has been since August 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Campbell’s Soup is tanking and it’s not just because of their Ex CEO mocking poor people and the quality of their products it’s because of Trump’s Tariffs! Remember the cans they use are aluminum so the Tariffs are kicking their butts!
@WallStreetApes Can we apply this same energy towards the military/ industrial complex? The military budget for the United States is consistently the highest expenditure of our budget every year, yet we have active duty service members on SNAP.
@factpostnews Once again proving the fact that you can not get new ideas from the mind of an old person. The only thing they can do is recycle old ideas, never changing or innovating.
@SaraGonzalesTX Now try Catholicism. Followed by Judaism, the protestant religions, Taoism, etc. By the way Ms. Gonzales. The white people don't want you there either unless you're cleaning their house or doing their landscaping.
@MilaLovesJoe No. Amerikkka has always been an illusion created by white people for the benefit of white people. Christianity is not the country's only religion. The WORLD 🌎 would be so much better if all countries banned religion from politics. Then maybe we could see everyone as human.
