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.
“It should surprise no one that the man who made his living selling Trump-branded condos to Russian mobsters through anonymous LLCs, and who paid a ten million dollar fine to FinCEN in 2015 as a settlement in his money-laundering case involving his Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City (which was found to have willfully and repeatedly violated the Bank Secrecy Act), had his supplicant Treasury Secretary gut the Corporate Accountability Act this week; effectively opening the floodgates to unlimited money-laundering and a tsunami of political and financial corruption.
This follows a Trump-appointed regulator preliminarily approving a federally chartered trust bank for his family’s World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency firm, which is run by Zach Witkoff, son of Steve, Trump’s erstwhile Special Envoy.
An apex moment of self-dealing, marrying the powers of the presidency to personal financial interests. The last man in the world who should have his own bank is Donald Trump. The last people on earth you would want to trust your money with are the execrable Trump clan.
Never before has such a pustular cabal of treasonous, glutinous venality metastasized so swiftly and eaten away at the undergirding of a system of government that may not just be temporarily broken - it may be heading towards a place well beyond repair.
To say the fox is guarding the hen house is too weak an analogy at this point. What we are witnessing is larceny on a scale we have not witnessed before in this nation. What occurred in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union may pale in comparison to the thievery and corruption now taking place in the U.S.A.”https://t.co/HFpbE1sBM3
@FitnessFoundry@cwebbonline@marceelias Yes! I signed up for my first time for my state’s primary this past Spring. It was so gratifying and fun. If anyone want to see how absolutely safe our elections are, then volunteer and see for yourselves! I can’t wait to work in November, as well.
