What Happened to Our Retirement (Social Security)

America was founded on the principle of freedom from tyranny and being given the chance to make it with your own two hands without anyone’s help. It was founded on a system of laws to protect freedom and the weak and developed into a defender the weaker against the bullies who threaten the rest. We make mistakes just as any country does but many of our mistakes can be tracked strait back to Liberalism.

Many of the early liberals believe that what they are doing is the best for the people of this great nation like FDR. FDR started The Social Security Act in 1937 so that working people would put money away; it was a retirement plan for the working people. In 1939 it changed to include the spouses under death benefits. Once you retired, the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. So far it is a good program but liberals can’t let good be if it can get them votes.

Due to action by the LBJ (a staunch liberal), in 1968 Social Security was from individual retirement accounts to the Trust Fund and added to the "unified budget." The verbiage was changed from “Social security Act Account” to “Social Security taxes”; the American people were just robbed of their retirement accounts. In 1972, President Nixon (yes he had liberal tendencies on social programs and was a Republican) changed the law again to include “Under certain conditions, immigrants can qualify for SSI benefits.” So now we the people have been robbed of our retirement accounts by LBJ; Nixon has now changed the law to give people who have never paid into Social Security our money, what else can happen. In 1993 under President Clinton, the tax raised from 50% to 85% the portion of Social Security benefits subject to taxation; the people were robbed again.

Since I know people out there is going to say I am bias, here is what Snopes says:

SOCIAL SECURITY:

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the 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:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent "Trust" fund and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate.

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

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security 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 U.S.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive SSI Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violation of 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!

I am neither a Democrat nor Republican, I am an American and hate what both parties are doing to our country, the Democrats are worse but the Republicans are catching up with a vengeance. Liberals in both parties are the problem, Sam Nunn, Democrat from Georgia was a great Congressman; strait forward, honest, had integrity but today I can’t find one Democratic Congressman with those traits. I have researched 340 (give or take) of the 535 US Congressmen and there is only one so far I can’t find trash. From what I found, it is my conclusion that the top three most corrupt states were California, Illinois, and New York even though New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and DC do get honorable mentions; but was this really a surprise? No!

Our politicians need to stop giving our jobs to other countries, killing production and jobs in our country, and taking from the working class to give to the refusing to work class. For any of those out there who want to act like “Christians” and say this is cruel and not what we should do, doesn’t 2 Thessalonians 3:10 say “if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat”, and that is in the New Testament.

Why are Politicians Destroying America?

America has for the last 100 years been known as the strongest of all nations. When Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, he was quoted saying, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." His greatest fear turned out to be true. We had patriotism and pride in our country, our military, and most every individual would have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect it. All believed in freedom, hated tyranny, and believed in making it with their own two hands but this isn’t true anymore.

Within the last 50 years or so, we have went from the strongest, most admired country to something that resembles more a third world country than the world’s dominant power. Our founding fathers were right when they said the only way we would be destroyed is from within because that is what our politicians are currently doing. Many of our citizens, and even non-citizens now believe everything is owed to them by America. Instead of our own countrymen realizing they are indebted to our country and in order to keep it great, they need to contribute and support America thanks to the liberal and socialist influence, they believe it is America that owes them. Didn’t JFK say, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country?” There is less and less national patriotism and pride in our country, our military, and even our citizen because of the liberal and socialist agenda we have fallen from number one in the world to 33 in regards to freedom.

Many of the liberal and socialist refuse to work and make sacrifices to capture the American Dream, they want it given to them. Understanding this fact, along with bringing in outsiders who just want to rape and pillage our country, sooner or later it will be enough to bring down any country, even the great United States. Nearly 90% of all immigrants, legal and illegal, go on one form of entitlements or another. Liberal and Far Left operatives, from both the Democratic and Republican Parties have been chipping away at our Constitution and our freedoms for years. If we applied the requirements (being beyond reproach) to be an elected official as written in the Constitution by our founding fathers to today’s US Congress and Presidency, we would be lucky to have two elected officials people left.

Our country was founded on Equal Rights for All, but when you watch the legal system go after a Christian for not serving a gay couple but not a Muslim refusing the same service, you can see the bias. When you watch the legal system going after an Elected Official for refusing to enforce the law and give out Gay Marriage Licenses who caused no physical harm to anyone but refusing to go after an Elected Official running Sanctuary Cities where thousands are robbed, raped, and murdered every year, you can again see the bias. Since when did the constitution get changed to allow law makers and the president to only enforce the laws they like, they are derelict in their sworn duties and should be removed from office.

When you have the media centers only showing the stories which support their agenda instead of the complete picture of the news, they should be removed from the airways. More people are murdered in Gun Free and Safe Zones then in the ghettos of the big cities, why, you are telling the crooks these people in these areas can’t defend themselves but you will never hear that on the news. We know that terrorist are a great threat to the US but refuse to secure the border and now the liberals want to bring, 15,000 Syrians, 80% who are men, not children, to the US as refugees, even though they are a strong supporter of terrorism; there is something wrong with this picture. The Iran deal our president wants to make will ensure the number one supporter of terrorism in the world will have a nuclear bomb quicker than if he had done nothing. How many Americans are going to have to get killed before we start fighting back against this liberal and socialist attack? When the Democratic Presidential front runner (Bernie Sanders) is a socialist, we are in trouble. He said his first duty would be to spend $18 trillion more; you think the economy is bad now, see what it is like if he gets elected.

How much longer are we going to stand by and refuse to let legitimate Christian refugees into our country while allowing terrorist refugees to have a free pass? Our government and its politicians are choking the life out of every American citizen and yet all we do is sit on out behinds. When are we going to stand up for America and kick all these anti-Americans out of the country? If you don’t like America leave, America would be much better off.

Choosing Which Law to Enforce- It leads to Discrimination, Tyranny, and Chaos

As we all sit down and watch as a little clerk in Rowan County Kentucky standing up for her Constitutional Rights is being threatened with fines and jailed, we need to look closer. Has her not issuing a Gay Marriage License caused anyone bodily harm or death, no? Does she have a constitutional right to not be forced to violate her religion, yes? Is it being ignored and violated, yes? It is written within the US Constitutional that her religious rights cannot be violated so how can a judge just arbitrarily say it doesn’t violate her Constitutional right if the judge doesn’t know her religion. There is nothing written in the constitution about a Constitutional Right for anyone, heterosexual or gay, to get married, according to the Constitution, all licensing is left up to the state but what do you do when the Supreme Court violates the constitution? You have purposive Christians out there slamming her because of her past, but doesn’t the Bible say when saved God forgives your past, yes; sounds like hypocrites. She did make one mistake and that was refusing to let her staff issue the licenses, you cannot force your religious belief on others and the judge did give her this out. The problem is the bias and hypocrisy shown by the courts, news, and our politicians.

Is the media and The Department of Justice gone after her with all they have, yes? She has violated what a judge’s opinion in which she is directed to violate her US Constitutional Rights and follow this new law but why should she? Many of the gay activist want her personally to sign it which is forcing their beliefs on her, mean spirited, and wrong; where is the compassion coming from them that they wanted from everyone about their beliefs? The enforcement of the law of our government and shows direct discrimination in enforcement due to political bias. She has not in any way physically harmed or killed a soul, so you ask, “Where is the Bias?” Her actions have not killed a soul but the violation of many politicians who support Sanctuary Cities has resulted in thousands of deaths yet the US Justice Department will not go after them; why? The news refuses to report on these daily murders, rapes, and assaults because of their political agenda. If we are going to have leaders pushing for violating the law which results in murders as in these Sanctuary Cities, by the law, are they not accomplices to murder? Yes they are, but no one, not even the US Justice Department is asking them any questions, but they are going after this clerk who has not murdered, raped, or assaulted a soul. The gay activist are openly trying to force her to violating her religious freedom, they are violating the number one law of the land including terroristic threatening so where is the US Justice Department? These politicians and law enforcement agencies are violating the law, when any elected official refuses to carry out the Duty of their position, they have also violated the US Constitution.

Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

The President must enforce all laws regardless of the Administration’s view or agenda. Without enforcement of the law, the president is in dereliction of their sworn duties and should be impeached. Law enforcement who unevenly choose which laws they “want” to enforce have in fact violated the law themselves and should be charged.

Abraham Lincoln is often paraphrased as saying, “The best way ‌to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”

How can you expect a clerk from Rowan County Kentucky to enforce and follow the law when our own president refuses to enforce and follow the law? Many people thought President Obama would be the “Great Unifier” of our country, we now see he is instead, the “Great Divider” and “Great Deceiver”. If this country is so prejudice as he tries to say, how did he get elected? If you really want to see prejudiceness, read the book “The Dreams of My Father”, the liberal agendas are full of it. He is the worse president I have seen in my lifetime and that would be 9 of them.

How can you expect anyone within a nation to have respect for their elected officials Democrat or Republican, when they violate the law more than the mob? I work for the federal government and if I had done with my email what Hilary Clinton had done, I would be in jail for a long time or even charged with treason. If I had done what Richard Nixon had done, I would again be in jail for a long time. How can you expect people to trust their government when these are the examples you see. When you can elect an openly prejudice judge (Sonia Sotomayor) to the US Supreme Court.

The US Constitution says when there is a conflict of interest, the Supreme Court Judges must recuse themselves form that vote, yet Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused. Both having lobbied and performed gay marriages and didn’t do what is required by the US Constitution. Now that the people can’t even trust the US Supreme Court Judges to follow the US Constitution, what real rights do they have that can’t be violated?
