Social
Security
Cards
up
until
the
1980s
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.
Franklin
Roosevelt,
a
Democrat,
introduced
the
Social Security
(FICA)
Program.
He
promised:
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.
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

Political
Party
took
Social
Security
from
the independent

fund
so

Congress
could
spend
it?

It
was

Q:
Which
Political
Party
started
taxing
Social

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

Q:
Which
Political
Party
decided
to
start
giving
annuity
payments
to
immigrants?
AND
MY
FAVORITE:
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!

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, it's
worth
a
try.
