Your SS Card - did you know? History Lesson on Your Social Security Card. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated  the number and card were not to be used for identification  purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now  has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway  and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social  Security (FICA) Program. He promised: �� 1.) That participation in the Program would be  Completely voluntary,  No longer Voluntary  �� 2.) That the participants would only have to pay  1% of the first $1,400 of their annual  Incomes into the Program,  Now 7.65%  on the first $90,000  �� 3.) That the money the participants elected to put  into the Program would be deductible from  their income for tax purposes each year,  No longer tax deductible  �� 4.) That the money the participants put into the  independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the  general operating fund, and therefore, would  only be used to fund the Social Security  Retirement Program, and no other  Government program.  Under Johnson the money was moved to  The General Fund and Spent.  �� 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never  be taxed as income. �� Under Clinton & Gore  Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed.  �� Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are  now receiving a Social Security check every month --  and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of  the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put  away' -- you may be interested in the following:  �� ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---- �� Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the  independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the  general fund so that Congress could spend it?  A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democrat controlled House and Senate.  �� ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -- �� Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax  deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?  A: The Democrat Party.  �� ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----- �� Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social  Security annuities?  A: The Democrat Party, with Al Gore casting the  'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the  Senate, while he was Vice President of the US  �� ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - �� Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? ��  Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Party.  Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,  began to receive Social Security payments! The  Democrat Party gave these payments to them,  even though they never paid a dime into it!  �� ------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- --------- �� Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),  the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans  want to take your Social Security away!  And the worst part about it is uninformed low information citizens believe    it!
