It is OUR money!!
Thank you Mr Secretary
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT 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.
Please, for the sake of our country, share this message. It's important!!!
Went for a quick bite to eat today, and while standing in line, I was asked by a large group of bikers to cut in front of them. I declined, but they insisted. As I made my way past them they all thanked me and shook my hand, each one introducing themselves. When I got to the front, they asked if they could pray for me. Said a quick prayer for me and I for them. They then tried to buy my lunch which I politely refused. Get to the counter to pay and the owner told me it was on the house. So I dumped all the cash I had in the tip jar. Was a nice change of pace to feel appreciated and respected instead of feared or hated. Thanks for making my day!!!

Japan proves it: Whether cheering at a FIFA match or immigrating to a new country, Japanese visitors and newcomers show respect for the host nation. They express gratitude and leave every place better than they found it.
That’s how it’s done. Assimilate. Honor. Improve.

Don’t believe the FAKE NEWS. When Republicans talk about fixing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, we are not talking about reducing a single benefit.
We’re talking about eliminating hundreds of billions in FRAUD and inefficiencies that are draining the programs and threatening their sustainability.
The duty of Congress is to address the problems so we can PRESERVE the essential benefits that are relied upon by the American people. https://t.co/MpYSqwUhIq
🚨JUST IN: DHS Sec Mullin just confirmed that per President Trump's Executive Order that DHS will ensure ONLY American citizens vote this November!
Mullin is considering posting ICE agents at polling stations.
This is how we save our elections!🔥🇺🇸
Hey Pocahontas, it’s been over a YEAR since I asked you this, and you STILL haven’t told us:
How did you amass a $12 MILLION net worth on a $176,000 salary??!
The math ain’t mathin’!
I had chills watching this.
Team USA during the National Anthem before our World Cup opening match.
HANDS OVER THEIR HEARTS, SINGING THE ANTHEM!
Black, white, didn’t matter.
AMERICANS WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY!
USA!!!
BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.
Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?
SHOCKING EXPOSÉ: In a stunning confession, Chuck Schumer admitted the SAVE America Act will let ICE rip TENS OF MILLIONS of people off the voter rolls! Schumer has openly confessed that America's voter rolls are INFESTED with illegals.
Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, INSULTING locals and bragging about how she ignores their concerns.
“We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' and doing it anyway.”
Democrats don't care about you.
