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


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

Sad isn't it?

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

I'm one  of the 1% -- I Just Did.
