Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"message.
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first
$1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65% on the first $106,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program
would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust
Fund 'rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore,
would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program,
and no other Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund
and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.
Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving
a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are
getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government
to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:

AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,

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!

There are people out there that murdering babies with a vacuum hose stuck into the woman is okay do really believe anyone is going to change their minds about democrats ? I have tried to change the mind of a fellow worker at the last election yet even though he admitted Monkey man was illegal - a drug adict - unqualified and destroying the country he voted for him. HE'S A DEMOCRAT. I also had an relative that would vote for a snake if it were a democrat. These people are without reasoning or any common sense.
Personally I don't care much for the GOP now either as they either bend over and offer it up or drop to their knees and either take out their teeth or fold them back. They are totally useless ,and I did vote for Kennedy even though i was. That was of course before I found out that this government is all make believe and our votes are not really counted anyway The criminal bass take an estimated figure of total voters and their man wins.
Does anyone know why wasn't the name of Elvis Aron Pressley capitalized on his Social Security Card?
I recieved and read an article from The Seniors Coalition lobby, several months ago, was written by John Attarian, a freelance writer in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His book is "The Myth of the Social Security Trust Fund". The article was extremly informative-although it was just small part of Mr. Attarian's writing--dispelled just about everything I had ever been taught or thought about the "Social Security Program"!! After all, I always thought that, by my employer taking out an SSI payment every paycheck, I was in essence paying into an account that would insure that I would have some money to live on when I was too old to work. WRONG!!! The SSI Fund cannot be used for anything else but payments to the people who have paid into the "Fund". WRONG!!! And I could go on and on, but it all boils down to the fact that "our" elected thieves have litterally enacted a "tax" scheme that has stolen BILLIONS of dollars from the regular hard working American and fed them with enough lies to keep them in the dark about the scheme!!!
we don't have to borrow all our money. we just do. part of the fleecing of our nation. and i'm sure you knew that. the federal reserve is an illegal ponzi scheme and our government needs to spend money into existence instead of borrowing it into existence.

i dug out my ss card and. my name is in caps and it says 'not for identification purposes' there is still a law on the books that states that if your social security card is used for identification purposes it mandates a $1000 fine. to put this into perspective, i am 60.

It is voluntary as long as you don't sign a birth registration document at the hospital. They will almost kill you if you refuse to sign one and get out alive with your baby, but that baby will not be a bank slave. Once mom signs one she makes her baby a corporate fiction, who must obey the laws of the corporation the statutes of the UNITED STATES corporation, then its not voluntary because you are A citizen of the UNITES STATES. Corporate slaves have no rights, they only have privileges.
