[Grovenet] Social Security

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Har!!! 

That poor petitioner is denying himself the opportunity to participate in
the USA. "...I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER
ISSUES, IF HE/SHE DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATION..."


So he'll likely end up voting for no one. Might has well leave the country. 

On the other hand, what if someone supports the program, but also intends to
nuke Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and anyone else who fails to toe the line we
set? I'd hope he'd reconsider voting for them. 

Our legislators aren't the only people who have a very nice retirement
package as part of the compensation as employees. I think the real issue is
why they don't have to participate in SS, including contribute to the SS
fund, like everyone else as well.

SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. 
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of
course, they do not collect from it. 
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their
rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for
themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan. 
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it.
After all, it is a great plan. For all practical purposes their plan works
like this: When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they
die. 
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.. 
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect
to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand
Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of
their lives. This is calculated on an average life span for each of those
two Dignitaries. 
  
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more
during the rest of their lives. 
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH.... 
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick
up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come
directly from the General Funds; 
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"! 
>From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid)
into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our
employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after
retirement. 
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly
benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's
benefits! 
<>  
ocial Security could be very good if only one small change were made. That
change would be to: 
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and
Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us then
sit back..... and see how fast they would fix it. f enough people receive
this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will
evolve. 
How many people CAN you send this to? 
Better yet..... 
How many people 
WILL you send this to ?
