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.
BREAKING: EXPOSE THEM! Hunter Biden TORCHES Jared Kushner for raking in billions of dollars from foreign governments and then takes aim at Melania for her own corruption.
The clock is running out on the entire Trump crime family...
"You compare that to Jared Kushner, who is an unelected official who has no official role in the United States government negotiating peace in the Middle East, while he is literally being paid hundreds of millions of dollars from all of the actors in the Gulf," Hunter said to Republican commentator Ana Navarro.
"He got $2.2 billion from the Saudis. He now has grown his fund to $6.2 billion," Hunter said. "Public record, 99% of the money coming from the Gulf states, while he's negotiating a peace deal that directly impacts them. And I just say this, I got paid $200,000 a year on public record, completely verified! You can go look it up in the House Oversight Committee hearings, where people testified under oath that buying paintings that had nothing to do with anything for a sum, a grand total of $200,000 a year for me."
Pointing out the double-standard here is more than fair. Republicans relentlessly smeared Hunter, abused their congressional power to formally investigate him, and screeched endlessly about his imagined crimes. In the end, they found no evidence of corruption whatsoever. Meanwhile, the Trump family is lining their pockets in a manner previously unthinkable in the United States of America. They're ripping out everything but the copper piping at this point.
"He is making hundreds of millions of dollars being paid by the Saudis in whose interest is he representing?" asked Hunter. "And it's not just him. It's Melania selling a documentary for $40 million to Amazon, that's got a lot of issues in front of this government."
The Melania documentary, a box office bomb and critical disaster, was widely seen as an in-kind bribe to the White House. In addition to the staggering $40 million price tag, it also received a $35 million marketing push. The economics of it make no sense, unless you interpret it as a blatant effort to curry favor with the President.
"Did you see the Rolling Stone reporting on what the boys have done? The Beavis and Butthead?" Hunter said, referring to Eric and Don Jr. "$3.9 billion in DoD contracts directly to underlying companies of which they have a ownership stake in. $3.9 billion. And that's just one thing!"
Hunter went on to tear into Trump's sons for their crooked crypto scams, saying that it has "ruined" the technology "for everybody."
"They got $2.3 billion, literally, and took it from the pocket of their supporters and put it into their own pocket," he said. "He made $630 million. People don't even understand how he did it. I understand how he did it. They got over $500 million from the UAE directly into the World Liberty Financial, of which they pocketed half of it, literally pocket $1.25 billion. They make a transaction. And that's literally nothing!"
Thankfully, the bill is coming due. When Democrats retake Congress this fall we'll obtain subpoena power, at which point we can call every member of this administration to testify under oath and expose every single crime that's occurred over the past two years.
Then come the prosecutions.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that Democrats investigate every single one of these scandals!
