Social Security Ponzi Scheme

[Lue C Fur]

With all the talk about SS being a Ponzi scheme and the media bashing Perry for saying so, i think its important for people to know who else called it a Ponzi scheme.

Thats right...he said it a week ago and back in 2007.

Glenn Beck said it best the other day...it's not a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is a voluntary involvement into an investment scheme. It's actually worse than a ponzi scheme as there is no voluntary nature of paying into SS.

Glenn Who?

Haven't seen or heard from him in ages. It amazes me how the bbsams and the tos' hear him. It's almost miraculous. When I first heard the name Glenn, I thougt we were talking about Rice again....not Condi!

I think Beck may still have a radio show, but not sure.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --

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 US

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

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic 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!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.
But it's worth a try.

SS is not a ponzi scheme although the pay as you go approach makes it resemble one.
