Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on!
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It’s our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They didn't ask us to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. Recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Let's take a stand. We earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
Most people won't Copy and Paste this to their timelines. Please, for the sake of our country do it. It's important!
