Don’t you just like it when….

I keep hearing how people want to cut social security at least give them less to live on. That really doesn’t sound so hot when your on social security to balance the nations budget. Would be nicer to here the congress and senators are going to cut their salaries but $50,000 dollars a year to be able to pay for 50 more people on social security each. 100 senators, 50,000 more people getting paid on social security. I’m not even sure how many people there are in congress these days but it’s a lot and they are all getting a cost of living something people on social security didn’t get last year plus that 1 1/2 % increase. Another thing the people on social security didn’t get.

If you notice where the tax cuts start, that’s so it will include the people from both houses. They deserve a tax cuts along with all the benefits they get. Few years ago they voted themselves a pay raise. Wasn’t a few bucks an hour, wasn’t a few more dollars a month, they doubled their salaries with the stroke of the pen and there wasn’t any partisan bickering going on. No one stood up and said that’s too much or that they isn’t getting paid for, that’s going to raise the federal deficit. No 100% voted for the raise. Why don’t you get the same percentage cut that you want to give everyone on social security.

No, they are lawyers real bottom feeder on the food chain. sponging of society for there money and voting what ever they want. Maybe the voters should be setting there rate of pay. Maybe they should be punching a clock and getting paid by the hour because they sue do spend a lot of time away from work doing none state work and getting paid for it. Four day week, nice. Private jet to fly home and the fuel gets paid for by the tax payers. I don’t know about you but I’ve worked all my life and no one ever paid for my fuel to get to work or to get home. That would be a big savings to the tax payer if they had to cover their own fuel bills.  I and many others hate to be at the bottom of the pile without a voice.

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!

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.
How many people CAN you send this to?
Better yet......
How many people WILL you send this to?
