LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN
WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE
INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE WITH ME ON THIS
BY FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!
KEEP IT GOING!!!!
Propose this in 2009:
START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL
SECURITY
----------------------------------
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 o f 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 0A
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 20 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!
Social 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.
If
enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe good changes
will evolve.
