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.
FROM LINCOLN TO TOTAL SURRENDER.
The greatest compilation of spineless flips you will ever see.
JD Vance: "Never Trump."
Lindsey Graham: "He's a kook."
Marco Rubio: "Feeds on bitterness."
RFK Jr: "I don't like bullies."
Tulsi Gabbard: "We are not your prostitutes and you are not our pimp."
Absolute poetry. Watch them all tumble into the camp of the man they warned you about. The ultimate compilation: A must watch! Eerie
@RpsAgainstTrump No, it's not true. Recent polls (NYT, Gallup, Reuters/Ipsos, etc.) put Trump's approval at ~37-41% — near lows for his presidency. His historical high was 49% (first term). Post-election favorability was also higher (~54%). The claim doesn't match public data.
A Louisiana resident named Marshawn didn’t hold back today and didn’t care who he offended with what he said. He’s right; this is MAGA’s last gasp for air. The courage of these residents to speak out gives me hope for our future. #DemsUnited
