"SOCIAL SECURITY, AN ENTITLEMENT?????”

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security

but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income 

before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your 

working life, that's close to $220,500.

If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & 

your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than 

what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after

49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.

If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 

per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 

95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid 

on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity

and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of

$2,976.40 per month.

The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi 

scheme  than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security 

insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, 

doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or 

handout!!

Congressional benefits , free healthcare, outrageous 

retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks 

paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's 

welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social 

security retirement entitlements?

We're "broke" and can't help our own seniors, veterans, 

orphans, homeless?

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, 

and Turkey. And now Pakistan, home of bin Laden. 

Literally, billions of dollars!!! Foreign aid is a transfer

from the poor in rich countries to the rich in poor 

countries.

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no 

aid nor do they get any breaks while our government 

and religious organizations pour hundreds of billions of

dollars and tons of food to foreign countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement

even though most of us have been paying for it all our

working lives and now when it's time for us to collect, the

government is running out of money. Why did the

government borrow from it in the first place? Well we can

thank Lyndon Johnson and the democrats for making our

social security part of the general fund. Imagine if the

government gave us the same support they give to other

countries.

Sad isn't it?

WE NOTICED

INTERESTING ARTICLE I FOUND
by: Faye Parrish, Bunnell, Florida

President Obama:

      Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.

        During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition. YES, "We noticed."

       During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states. YES, "We noticed."

        When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over. YES, "We noticed."

       Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country.. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief. YES, "We noticed."

      When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so. YES, "We noticed."

        When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one. YES, "We noticed."

       All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her traditions. YES, "We noticed."

       You are 24 months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation. YES, "We noticed."

      We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American”, “racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out. YES, "We noticed."

       On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans. And YES, "We noticed."

        There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us. YES, "We noticed."

       September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is, a disgrace. YES, "We noticed."

       You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy. YES, "We noticed."

       And last but not least, we noticed that on August 10, 2011, you held a big Muslim Ramadan celebration at the White House, at TAX PAYERS expense.  INTERESTING!!! YES, "We noticed." 

 

God bless,
