other dog Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don't forward or post a lot of e-mail I get, but as I was looking through and deleting 139 e-mails I had, this one sent to me by my uncle seemed to be worth posting here-What the "H" is wrong? 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 (me) you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, 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.I didn't try to clean up the language in this message. It makes a better impact as it is.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 , aka. 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 retirement entitlements !!!!!!what the HELL's wrong??? WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit 2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits.Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care - At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????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 its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

shortstack Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I heard the other day something else that ticks me off. No secret we borrow money from China which we in turn pay interest on. Then we turn around and give lots of it to the UN who passes some on to China to help pay for their people with aids. We borrow money from them to turn around and give back to them all the while paying interest on it! China is laughing all the way to the bank. We have a bunch of dumb asses in government making us look stupid and breaking us in the process.

41chevy Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 thats a no shiterHeres some more obammy manouvering behind the scenes.A preparatory committee at the United Nations concluded a series of meetings this week on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). This is the third and final round of meetings on the ATT, as the UN gears up for final negotiations in 2012. The most comprehensive treaty of its kind, the ATT would regulate weapons trade throughout the world on everything from battleships to bullets. Though negotiations will continue for another year, some provisions are certain to be contained in the final draft. The ATT will, at the very least, require gun owner registration and microstamping of ammunition. And it will define manufacturing so broadly that any gun owner who adds so much as a scope or changes a stock on a firearm would be required to obtain a manufacturing license.It would also likely include a ban on many semi-automatic firearms (i.e., the Clinton gun ban) and demand the mandatory destruction of surplus ammo and confiscated firearms. Negotiators, from abroad and within the Obama administration, view arms control as protecting human rights, rather than seeing civilian disarmament for what it is -- the favorite tool of despots, dictators and tyrants to maintain power by engaging in mass murder and genocide.
