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.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Sen. John Fetterman tells Zohran Mamdani to "fix a pothole," blasting the NYC mayoral candidate for weighing in on foreign policy:
“Now you have the mayor of a city. You’re a mayor, dude. You’re a mayor. You can fix a pothole. You can take out the trash. But you can’t order people to arrest anybody any more than I could. I couldn’t have him arrested if he came to Pennsylvania. It’s a joke, and he’s a clown. He also said that Netanyahu is not welcome in New York. You can’t say that any more than I can say, ‘Mayor, you’re not welcome in Pennsylvania.’ So sit down. I know you’re a clown, and you’re just going to pander to the fringe because that’s part of your base. I know you’re angry at Netanyahu because he killed a lot of people you admire, whether it’s Sinwar, Nasrallah, or Qaani in Iran. He’ll only criticize the prime minister of Israel, but he never criticizes Hamas. He never criticizes Hezbollah or Iran. I’ve never heard the mayor condemn Iran for killing 30,000 or 40,000 of its own young people who were simply asking for democracy in their country.”
@ValerieAnne1970 Justice is NEVER COMING! These diabolical people live “above the law” and many of us realize that. There is NOT equal justice in this country.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump drops this bombshell that the National Academy of Sciences has been caught PUBLISHING FRAUDULENT MANUALS on climate change and the green new scam
TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN 🔥
"I hereby order Federal Suspension and Debarment Officials to review this conduct. Our Taxpayers should not be funding Climate Fraud, and Judges should never have relied upon it."
"The National Academy of Sciences has historically published analytical Scientific Manuals expressly for our Federal Judiciary. Of course, the Academy has been run by Radical Left Dumocrats who, it turns out, published fraudulent, biased, and misleading Manuals on Climate Change. These bogus Manuals were used by Judges to decide massive “Climate Change” Cases, and have created huge losses across our Country. These Manuals have been totally DISCREDITED"
@RogerJStoneJr Of course they did, they were key players, active participants. Now the most important part of this entire thing, what will happen to them?
@angeldadjoe@SenatorDurbin@DAGToddBlanche These people are far too evil to be influenced by someone else’s tragedy. They only care about themselves, period. Their every thought is based in wickedness.
Marco Rubio lo acaba de clavar como un martillo:
«La violencia de la izquierda no es una “protesta”. Es una revuelta de lo peor contra lo mejor. Es la pataleta de los débiles, los mediocres y los cobardes contra los fuertes, los capaces y los buenos.
Son aquellos que no saben construir, crear ni lograr nada grande… y por eso deciden vengarse del mundo destruyendo lo que otros levantaron con esfuerzo, talento y visión.
Eso es el izquierdismo radical en su esencia más pura. Da igual la etiqueta del momento: anticapitalista, antiimperialista, comunista, anarquista, marxista, “progresista” o “activista climático”. El ADN es siempre el mismo.
Es resentimiento venenoso disfrazado de “justicia social”.
Es envidia podrida maquillada de “igualdad”.
Es odio a la excelencia envuelto en banderas de “liberación”.
Su único talento es destruir.
Su única alegría es ensuciar lo hermoso.
Su único objetivo es arrastrar todo hacia abajo para que nadie brille más que su propia mediocridad.
A través de la violencia, el terror y la cancelación buscan imponer su fealdad espiritual sobre la sociedad. No es idealismo. No es utopía. Es nihilismo puro con sonrisa moralista.
El viejo dogma se equivocó: esto no viene de gente que sueña con un mundo mejor, sino de gente que no soporta que el mundo sea mejor sin ellos.
Y ya estamos hartos.
La civilización no se defiende pidiendo perdón. Se defiende nombrando al enemigo por su nombre.
Most Democrats couldn't make it to our hearing on government fraud. The empty chairs made their priorities pretty clear.
Hard to claim you're fighting waste when you don't even show up.
@RandPaul@KelleyAshbyPaul Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Prove to the citizens of this country that no one is above the law. Because, as of right now, no one believes that.
December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress.
Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included.
This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about.
