scocial security change

This pisses me
off:




SOCIAL
SECURITY:

(This is worth reading. It is short and to the
point.)


Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election
years.


Our Senators and Congresswomen
do
not
pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.


You
see, Social Security benefits were20not suitable for
persons
of their rare elevation in society.
They felt they
should have a
special plan for
themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own
benefit
plan.


In more recent years, no congressperson 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 the same pay until they die.
Except
it may increase from time to time for cost of living
adjustments...


For
example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw
$7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with
their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two
Dignitaries.


Younger Dignitaries
who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their
lives.

Their
cost for this excellent plan is
$0.00.
NADA!!!
ZILCH!!!


This
little perk they voted for themselves is free to
them.
You and I pick up the tab for this plan.
The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;


"OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From
our own Social Security Plan,
which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we
retire
(which amount is matched by
our
employer), We
can expect to get an average of
$1,000
per month after retirement.


Or,
in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly
benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's
benefits!

Social
Security could be very good if only one small change were
made.


That change would be to

Jerk
the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen..
Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of
us


Then
sit back......

And
see how fast they would fix it!

If
enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and
maybe good changes will evolve.



How
many people can YOU send this
to?

Better yet......

How many people
WILL< b>
you send this to
?
