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.
@GenFlynn I think if Elon Musk would help us get the 16th and 17th amendments repleaded that would be a great start to returning the Republic to the people. End the Senate BS !
I think Elon Musk has done a great thing by letting our voices be heard. Now if Elon would help us get the 16th and 17th amendments repleaded and our Republic restored as our forefathers intended, that would be the greatest thing in our lifetime. No more Senate BS !
Leslie Manookian reveals how in just one year, America was transformed into an oligarchy.
“1913 was one of the worst years in American history.”
“The structure of our nation has been subverted … to harness the federal apparatus to serve corporations.”
“You had the 16th Amendment, which allowed taxation.”
���You had the 17th Amendment, which changed how the US senators were selected.”
“You had the administrative state spring up and literally metastasize into something that strangles and infects and feeds off of every aspect of our country.”
“You have these agencies that are, theoretically, codified in order to protect public health.”
“EPA, CDC, FDA.”
“And they’re doing the opposite.”
“They’re protecting the corporations.”
“The other horrible thing was the Federal Reserve Act.”

@slater57649 They read and understood the words to the song. They understood what Hodgeson was trying to get across to people when he wrote the song. Bravo to them for their musical talents.
