Citaat:
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security(FICA)
Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would
be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
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,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as
income.

Als je daar nog even naar terug kijkt, is het niet moeilijk om tot besef te komen dat we de oorspronkelijke bedoeling van de sociale zekerheid al lang geleden voorbijgeschoten zijn.
Het wordt dringend tijd dat we terugkeren naar deze basis van de sociale zekerheid. |
