[Nfbf-l] FW: [Bulk] FW: Did you know - Social Security and our Representatives / Congresspeople

[elizabeth McNally]

I thought you all might find this interesting since most of us are social
security recipiants.
2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and all of the house of
representatives. It would be nice if congress got the message; the voting
taxpayers are in charge now. 

	
	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: 
	
	S TART A MOVEMENT 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
planfor 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
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 to them 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 ?

Social Security
 
For the first time in history, the Democratic Congress will not allow an
increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment).  In fact,
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any COLA for
the next three years. 

However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased
from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 for the
year 2011.

Send this to all seniors that you know.     

Remind them  to not vote for the incumbent senators and congressmen in the
2010 and the 2012 elections.
