Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Watching the world crumble around me and waiting for the return of the Lord to straighten out this mess once and for ever.
@GrantWarr1 You know, I wish posters would include the name of the state in their posts. Not everyone knows every city and/or county and can associate it with the state in the post.
A message to President Trump: “You told us to fight. We’re fighting. Come to this small town. Don’t forget us.”
@corinnecliford and Shasta County, CA are calling on @realDonaldTrump@POTUS@FBI@TheJusticeDept to investigate the counterfeit ballots they’ve identified before — according to a threat they received — their building gets burned down!
@jeffreytucker I am no economics major but doesn't importing that beef for grinding and sale to the public hurt the US beef industry? Help me to understand if I am wrong.
@RedpillDrifter According to Google image: This is a pole-mounted automated police drone docking station (known locally as a drone "nest" or "airport") deployed by the Shenzhen Traffic Police (深圳交警) to build a "dynamic sky network"
@ScottPresler Hah! You must be kidding us Scott! They can't even prioritize the Save Act, and you want them to think about our personal privacy. I know you are smarter than that. Keep pushing everyone you know on that issue first. After that, get on the Flock cameras.
🚨 HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& 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.
