The fact that the Republican Party is actively fighting against a man like Scott Presler , instead of recruiting him and following his lead, tells us all that the swamp runs deeper than we all think.
Where are prominent Republicans backing him up? Why aren’t they giving him some sort of official rank within their organization to make sure he recruits more voters? Why is some random “sergeant-at-arms” so comfortable in being hostile towards one of the most genuinely nicest dudes out there?
To @ScottPresler, you’re supported more than you know. Please keep doing what you’re doing.
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]
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?
WAIT...WHAT 🚨
The media told us they didn't want Trump cleaning up DC
Under Biden, there were no vendors
Trump came on the scene, and said everyone has to go back to work.. it's like watching a movie, when you pause it, then press play
The water fountains are running again
People love Trump... the media's lying to you
🚨 NOW: Liberals are LOSING THEIR MINDS after President Trump posted how beautiful the new USA flag blue Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will look
They hate nice things — and preferred he let the algae and goose poop sit in the pool!
Trump nailed it: “Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument? That's what made our country great. Beauty made our country!"
"People made our country great. A question like that is a disgrace to our country."
@Rhart84Rh@OldRebelNMyrtle “We haven’t had a son yet, but the good Lord knows the three of us have tried” was a pretty unusual line for a country song back in the 80’s, but DAC certainly lived it!
