[Chili327]

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

 

KEEP IT GOING!!!!

2008 Election Issue!!

 

GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.

 

 

This must be an issue in "2008" Please! Keep it going.

 

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

 

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, 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:

 

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 ?

This email is so misinformed. Congress has what's called a 412i plan, thats essentialy a combined defined benefit/deferred contribution plan. You can do the same thing they are doing, its funded by your own assets.

 

So basically you can have the same thing as Congress if you want, except you get SS they don't. It wouldn't matter anyway because given the amount of money put it, they would lose 80% of the SS benefit due to taxes.

 

 

[Guest [iLL] Andawg]

I think it's a great idea, put them on Social Security, then, while in office their desire to take more "Special Intrest" money will greatly increase so they have something to retire on. This is a good idea, we, the environment, other countries, people in poverty, and this will become a very long list, they'll all get screwed even worse...it's a good plan!

Good find Sniper. I didn't realize they actually received the SS benefit. I would still imagine that most of them dont receive their full benefit from SS because of the income they are receiving at retirement. I don't remember what the number is for 2007, but at a certain point SS income becomes taxed.

Perfect Replies..!!

 

I didn't know if the validity of the email, but by posting it i have now found out more to the story.

Thanks informative people.!
