Social Security 2009  

 LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF  THE INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.    

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 congress person  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.  ZIP!! 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?  

P.S. The same goes for their health plan!
