I got this in an email...Very interesting..
Subject:Social Security
I thought this was interesting reading, so that
any who don't know, may know now.
Our Senators and Congressmen do not pay into
Social Security, therefore
they do not collect from it. Social Security
benefits were not suitable
for persons of their rare elevation in society.
They felt they should
have a special plan for themselves. Many years
ago they voted in their
benefit plan. In more recent years, no congress
person 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
THEIR SAME PAY UNTIL THEY DIE except IT MAY BE
INCREASED FROM TIME TO
TIME by the cost of living adjustments! For
example, former Senator
Bradley and his wife may be expected to draw
$7,900,000 with Mrs.
Bradley drawing $275,000 during the last year of
her life. This is
calculated on an average life span for each.
Their cost for this
excellent plan is $"0". This little perk they
voted for themselves is
free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this
plan.
This fine retirement plan funds come directly from the General Funds. Our
tax dollars at work! With Social Security, which
you and I pay into
every payday for our own retirement, with an
equal amount matched by our
employer, we can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month from our
Social Security plan. Or, we would have to
collect our
benefits for 681 years and 1 month TO EQUAL
BRADLEY'S BENEFITS!!!
Imagine for a moment that you could structure a
retirement plan so
desirable that people would have extra amounts
from their pay to enhance their own
personal retirement income. Our retirement plan would work so well that Railroad Employees, Postal Workers and others who were not in the plan, would clamor to be included.
This is how good Social Security could be, if
only one small change were made. That change would be to jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan out
from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put THEM
into the SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN WITH THE REST OF US!! Then watch how fast they would fix it!!!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed will
be planted, and may be
good changes will evolve. How many people can YOU
send this to?

. I don't want to get into presidential debates, but I don't think George Bush is gonna help things all that much. As far as I'm concerned his SS plan is bullsh^t and doesn't do jack for the average American. I'd also rather pay off the national debt than save 50 bucks on taxes. Arguing about who the better president (GB/AG)is is pointless because each one is about as bad as the other. I voted for Gore because the only thing about foreign policy Bush knows was told to him in the form of bedtime stories when he was a child.
