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,

former 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 watch 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??

How about adding the USA onto their health plan,
sounds better than an HMO to me!

Keeps this going

clear up thru the 2004 election!!

We need to be heard
