PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY

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 were not 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 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 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.
ZIP!!  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!
