Selfishness betrayed in a non-representative republic

The non-representative elective officials assured the 'Ponzi Scheme' Social Security system.  they borrowed from it, spent the money, gave us higher and higher taxes and now don't believe we the people are due their money. 

We are all tired of these elitists who live like the 500 princes of Saudi Arabia.
The Tea Party had better stick to our guns and get us started with a new bunch and a new mindset to truly represent us!

Thanks Ron Walters!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Subject:



I Paid -- Didn't You?

This was sent to me, I am forwarding it because it does touch a nerve in me..



This is another example of what Rick Perry called "TREASON in high places" !!!



Get angry and pass this on!



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 per year over your working life, that's close to $220,500.



If you calculate your & your employer's contribution which is $4,500 per year, the future value of $4,500 at a simple 5% (this is 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!!



Look at 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!!!



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 $$$$$$'s 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? Imagine if the GOVERNMENT gave US the same support they give to other countries.



AND STOP AND THINK, THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!

WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?????????????



Sad isn't it?



99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.



I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did.
