I RECEIVED THIS IN AN EMAIL FROM A RELATIVE.
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what.
And it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are facts!!!
Our Social Security
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.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the federal government to 'put away', you may be interested in the following:
————————————————————-
Q: Which political party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it in to the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically-
controlled House and Senate.
——————————————————————–
Q: Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
———————————————————————–
Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
—————————– ————————————–
Q: Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, they began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them even though they never paid a dime into it!
———————————————————————-
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is, uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
'A government big enough to give you everything you want,
is strong enough to take everything you have.'
—-Thomas Jefferson—-
All of the social programs that sprouted up in the New Deal have come to haunt us. At the beginning of Social Security, they were betting that most workers would be dead before becoming eligible for payments. Just look at the life expectancy rates in the 1930's.
I sincerely believe… that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." –Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816.
If by penalty, you mean a discount on the value of your structured settlement, then yes. The cash you will receive up front typically is worth approximately 50% of the value of your total payments – but shop around, as you may find some buyers offer much better terms than others.
There are only a few cases where it makes sense to sell your structured settlement payments – if you are very skilled with outpacing inflation through investments, have a business you want to invest in, or if you have a short life expectancy and want to simplify estate planning, to name a few.
Check below for more pros and cons to selling your structured settlement.

Well, the numbers are in. Well not the drawing but I have picked our numbers and here are the numbers I picked.
TheBoredOne4,8,14,16,31,MB 13
Pearl Roads1,7,9,18,27,MB 2
ElGatoloco6984,6,7,22,23,MB 40
Average3,7,10,19,27,MB 18
I picked everyone’s numbers that gave them to me and averaged them out and picked those too. I threw in a quick pick just for the of it. Good luck to the BoredOne, Pearl Roads and myself. Yippee!
Good luck Boredone, Pearl and me. We’re in for some serious cash if we win. Then everyone will be jealous of us.
Let’s win the Lottery. Help me win and you can win!
A few months ago Montagraph made a really cool video about getting people to help him win the lottery.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKV2SpdzsU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu1Eb0J04Zs
So I thought I’d give it a shot. Let’s put our minds together. The power of mutual thought. We can do this.
Ok, so what do I need from you? I need you to pick five numbers between 1 and 56. Do not repeat numbers else your entry will be thrown out.
Next, I need you to pick one mega ball number between the numbers 1 and 46. This number can be any number since it is drawn from a different pool.
Just enter your number in the comments in this format please.
4,15,22,42,46 Megaball 22
In other words my numbers are 4, 15, 22, 42, 46 and my mega ball is 22. Another entry might look like: 10,11,26,36,50 mega ball of 45
The cut-off time will be at 11:59 central time the day before the drawing.
Easy enough? Lets do this!
Pulled this from the Lottery Web site.
You must be of legal age to play the lottery and live in a state where it is legal. You must also play in a legal state.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers – five different numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to 46 (megaball). You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.
What if you win the jackpot?
Annuity option: Provides 26 annual payments. For every $1,000,000 in the jackpot, you will receive approximately $38,500 per year before taxes.
Cash option: A one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.
In addition to the jackpot, there are other prizes ranging from $2 to $250,000*.
* In California all prizes are pari-mutuel, meaning payouts are based on sales and the number of winners. All other Mega Millions states set the 2nd through 9th prizes at pre-determined amounts.
When and where are the drawings held?
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 10:00 p.m. Central Time, 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Drawings are held at WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia. You can buy tickets until 10:45 p.m. Eastern Time, 9:45 p.m. Central Time, 7:45 p.m. Pacific Time.
I reserve the right to amend or change these rules at any time.
