We pay for Social Security – it is ours. [View All]

[SnoopDog]

6.2 percent of our paycheck goes into Social Security. Our employers match that amount. To our employers: thanks - we deserve it. The US Government administers Social Security (thanks SSA) – it seems that this is the only thing our government does for us. Technically or fundamentally, our government has nothing to do with Social Security save 1) enforcing employer matching funds, and 2) the administering of the funds.

Since we ‘pay’ for Social Security, our government has no right to mess with it. It works. The only thing that we should allow is to remove the salary cap. Our government has no right to screw it up.

The money in Social Security is ours – it came out of our paychecks.

The only real reason bush wants to destroy it is because our government has been looting OUR Social Security money and they simply 1) do not want to pay it back, and 2) since they are destroying Social Security, why not line the pockets of Wall Streeters.

The only permissible change to Social Security is to STRENGTHEN it.

I recommend you write/email/fax your Congressmen/women.
