Social Security under the Democrats

After you read this you may have a different perspective on health care reform and all the promises the pols made to convince you it would be a good deal.

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt


32nd. President, Democrat

Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945 Our Social Security

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), a Democrat, introduced Social Security (FICA) Program. He Promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,

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, and

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

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:



----------THEN---------------------------------------------------



Dwight David Eisenhower

34th. President, Republican,

Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961
If I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress, not President Eisenhower, voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If I recall correctly, it was a democratically controlled Congress.

From what I understand,Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.



-------------WORSE STILL------------------------------------------------

Lyndon Banes Johnson 36th. President,Democrat


Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969



Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it all into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?



Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat,Term of Office: November 22,1963 to January 20, 1969) and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

Answer: The Democratic Party.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



William Jefferson Clinton


(Bill Clinton)

42nd. President

Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.


(Al Gore)

45th. Vice President

Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001

Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

Answer: The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 10, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US ....



------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK !!---------------------



James Earl Carter, Jr


(Jimmy Carter)

39th President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981



Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

ANSWER: That's right! JAMES EARL CARTER, JR. (JIMMY CARTER) (DEMOCRAT, TERM OF OFFICE: JANUARY 20, 1977 TO JANUARY 20, 1981 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!






----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, 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, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.

----------------------------------------------------------------------



Thomas Jefferson


3rd. President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have".

Thomas Jefferson

America -- Founded as a Christian Nation

And if one can READ History, this nation was founded on Christian Tenets, it was not secular it was Bible reading, Bible Based Christians from England.


Obama: "Although, as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation."

Really? But didn't the Mayflower Compact proclaim the Pilgrims were establishing their colony for "the advancement of the Muslim faith." And what about "In Allah We Trust" on our coinage and currency, not to mention what's been called our second national anthem, "Allah Bless America"?

Seriously, if the "we" who don't consider ourselves a Christian nation refers to the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the editorial board of The New York Times, Obama is on target.

An April 3 Newsweek poll showed 62% of us do consider America "a Christian nation." But for those like our president, the nation's mood is determined not by the majority, but by the cultural elite - individuals who, by education and refinement, are entitled to shape the national consciousness for the rest of us.

Due to ignorance or willful blindness, throughout our history, most Americans, including our leaders, didn't understand that we are a secular republic - one nation under Rousseau, Darwin and the Humanist Manifesto (I and II).

Patrick Henry remarked: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religions, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

The Constitution is dated "in the year of our Lord, 1787," in reference not to Allah, Krishna or Buddha, but to Jesus. Supreme Court Associate Justice Joseph Story, in his 1833 treatise on the Constitution, observed that the Founding Fathers believed "that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the state."

In the 1931 case of U.S. v Macintosh (decided before the federal judiciary began to deconstruct the First Amendment), the Supreme Court declared, "We are a Christian people."

Every President of the United States, including B. Hussein Obama, took an oath to uphold the Constitution on a Bible. In every case save one, it was the King James Version.

Speaking of Obama's predecessors - clearly less enlightened and worldly than the Messiah-in-Chief and probably in thrall to the religious right - their opinion is unanimous:

George Washington: "It is impossible to govern rightly without God and the Bible." By the Bible, the Father of our Country was not referring to the Koran or the Bhagavad Gita.

John Adams: "The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were...the general principle of Christianity."

John Quincy Adams: "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

Andrew Jackson: "The Bible is the rock upon which our Republic rests" - again, in reference to the Christian Bible, not the Lotus Sutra.

Abraham Lincoln: "Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust, in the best way, all our present difficulty." The "present difficulty" that Lincoln believed Christianity would resolve favorably was a civil war in which more than 600,000 Americans died.

Before the McGovernite takeover of the Democratic Party (now under the direction of George Soros), the presidents of Obama's party also sang in the Christian-America choir.

Woodrow Wilson: "America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify the devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelation of Holy Scripture."

Franklin D. Roosevelt, speaking of World War II: "Today, the whole world is divided, divided between human slavery and human freedom - between pagan brutality and the Christian ideal."

Harry S. Truman, writing to Pope Pius XII: "This is a Christian nation. ... It is not without significance that the valiant pioneers who left Europe to establish settlements here, at the very beginning of their colonial enterprise, declared their faith in the Christian religion and made ample provision for its practice and support."

John F. Kennedy, in the midst of the Cold War: "And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbearers fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."

Thomas Jefferson said something strikingly similar: "Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God."

Still, the Great Community Organizer can blithely proclaim that America - which is 75% to 80% Christian - is no more a Christian nation than it is a Moslem nation.

In a 2007 speech, Obama qualified this opinion --"Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation."

The president thereby allowed for the possibility that America once was a Christian nation, but is no longer. But when did Christianity's dominance over American life end - with the Supreme Court's 1962 school-prayer decision, its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision or Bill Clinton staining an intern's dress with his bodily fluids circa 1995?

While insisting that "we" do not consider America a Christian nation, Obama praised the religion of peace. "We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country."

We Have a Constitution

MESSAGE FROM AMERICA TO THE AMERICAN DELEGATES IN COPENHAGEN and  PRESIDENT OBAMA


AND THE REST OF THE WORLD



In America, We Have a Constitution

It Begins: "We the People"



Our Constitution Requires International Agreements

to Be Agreed Upon By our Senate



Our President Does Not Have Support in our Senate

for Binding Carbon Emissions Limits



Our Environmental Protection Agency Recently Asserted It Has the Power to Impose Carbon Emissions Limits



Such Action would be Tantamount to our Executive Branch Taxing the American People without

Approval from the Elected Representatives in our Legislative Branch



That's Called "Taxation without Representation" and

We Will Not Stand for it



The American Revolution and a Famous Tea Party in

Boston in 1773 Was About Rejecting Taxation without Representation



We Reject Taxation without Representation even if it

is attempted by our President through an

international "political" agreement like the

Copenhagen 15



Through Our Election Process, our Presidents, Representatives, and Administrators Are

Accountable to the American People



Unlike Other Countries, We Do Not Have a

Democracy Deficit



In America, Mesdames and Messieurs, We the People Govern

--Lisaed

How did he know?



It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone...

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.


The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from thosewho are willing to work and give to those who would not.


It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.


A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.


I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.


No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.


'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..' -- Thomas Jefferson

Joys of Muslim Women - Obama's Folly

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child,consummating the marriage by age 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman(who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce. To prove rape, the woman must have four male witnesses. (How likely is that?) Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family.

Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and they do not have to say why they have beaten them. The husband is permitted to have four wives and atemporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion. The Shariah Muslim Law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman. In the West World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wives can not obtain a divorce and the husbands can have full and complete control of them. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah Law. By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law. Criticizing the West, the author says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah Law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two. The author's recent the book is Cruel and Usual Punishment:The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law . She was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egyptand Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covertattacks on Israel. He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza. When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr forjihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society. But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television. In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping Sharia Law- what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries. For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose Sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world. Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world. While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others. While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism. It's hard to imagine that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation. While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to affect the election of Presidents by themselves! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

You are only lying to yourself if you think this isn't happening right now and right here in America. They have a camp in Virginia of all places. I know why--do YOU? If you don't care about yourselves? What about your kids and grandkids?

Radicals aim to set limits on our freedom of expression. In particular, radical groups seek to censure any individual or
group that speaks out against the dangerous threats of Radical Muslims.

These restrictions are a step towards the implementation of Sharia law in the West. Freedom of speech as we know it in the United States is not permitted in countries such as Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and others. By limiting speech in the West, we are furthering the goals of Radical Muslims.

The direct outcome of these restrictions is the strangulation of our freedom of expression. In liberal societies, individuals are sometimes offended. Mutual respect is certainly commendable but it is not, and should not be, obligatory. Open debate, including the right to offend, ensures the existence of a free society.

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
