    Social Security???

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    WHO TOOK MY MONEY?
     
    Actually,  Democrat  President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first ones to misuse the Social Security account.  They used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corps.   Not the first or last time our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign nations.
     
    Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security and changes made:
     
    A History Lesson on Your Social Security Card . . . Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.   It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it.   Be sure and show it to your family and friends .   They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican . . .
     
    Facts are Facts
     
    Social Security Cards, until the 1980s, expressly stated that the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.   Because nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message,  NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
     
    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 Democrat President Lyndon 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 Democrats Clinton & Gore, up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed.
     
    Because 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 Democrat-controlled House and Senate.
     
    Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
    A: The Democrat Party .
     
    Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
    A: The Democrat Party.  Al Gore cast 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?
    A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democrat 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!    What's to take away.   It has already been decimated by the Democratic Party over the last 50 plus years.
     
    And the worst part about it is that  uninformed citizens believe it!
     
     
    This is an older email I just received...pretty interesting-don't know if it's all true, but sounds like it easily could be.

    Tahoe, Honda Pilot, or Toyota 4 runner???

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    Thanks for all the replies and advice...the vehicle I was looking at is a 2013 Yukon, 61,000K on it, beautiful and fully loaded for 23K.

    After seeing all your reviews I may just keep my Pathfinder a while, it's running good, besides probably passed the point of a good trade-in price.

    I might just save up the coins a bit and look into a 4 runner or Pilot in a newer model.  The Yukon may be a bit too much vehicle for what I need-just back and forth to work.

    I'm in the market for a used SUV with about 60K miles, that is super dependable and should get well over 200k miles on it.  I'm going to look at a Yukon today with 61k on it.

    What vehicle would you choose?  I currently have a 2011 pathfinder with 115K on it. 

    I don't need it for hauling anything---maybe a 26 pointer like the guys on youtube, if I get lucky one day.lol

    Christmas Dinner!

    My wife and I make lasagna and we have shrimp, chicken franchez, eggplant, and my cousin brings homemade cheesecake.

    Wishing all a Merry Christmas...for many of us it's a time to reflect on our blessings and our loved ones that have passed on.

    God bless everyone!

    sum up your season!

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    Thankful for the time out in woods, but as far as deer sightings-waaay down due to flooding of my main areas for hunting. Got a spike with shotgun around Thanksgiving---all combined seasons probably saw less than 20 deer.  High stream water maybe part of problem, also next to no shots heard by other hunters- so no pushing the deer around. So, all in all, thankful I got what I got.
