ENTITLEMENT MY ASS

SOCIAL SECURITY INFO
Before
reading the information below, I'd like to share an incident that happened
to me a couple months ago at a Walgreens. My husband had a new prescription
that cost over $200. I have the Balance Rewards card from Walgreens, which
honors prescriptions as well
as other purchases. So, I asked for the Balance Rewards for this
prescription to be added to my Rewards account.
The pharmacist said she couldn't because I was paying for it with an
entitlement. I explained that we have never
been on any kind of entitlement program. She stated that Social Security and
Medicare are entitlements. I tried not to come unglued, but told her nicely
that my husband and I had earned our Social Security and Medicare with money
paid into these accounts each and every payday. She said she understood, but
it was now called an entitlement, and I couldn't get the Rewards points. I
could care less about the Rewards points, but was livid that the government
now called Social Security (that we paid into all our lives) an entitlement!
To be fair to Walgreens, the pharmacist said that this was a federal law --
that no one on entitlement can benefit
from those payments in any way...getting reward points. Wow!!!!! The
government has their hands in everything!!!
Anyway, now please read the item below... If you get any Social Security at
all in any manner, you might want to read.
Did you know this? Unfortunately most did not, and I am one of those whose
Social Security funds are direct deposited to my bank, thus, I never see the
checks. Once again, our beloved congressmen are playing fast and loose with
vernacular . What motive did they have for changing the name of our Social
Security? Im sure they
have a plan, and it won't be to our betterment.
Here we go.
JUST REALIZED THAT WITH REQUIRED AUTO DEPOSIT, I NEVER GET TO SEE THE CHECK
....
ALERT EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US.*
*Subject:* SOCIAL SECURITY becomes FEDERAL BENEFIT CHECK Have you noticed,
the Social Security check is now referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment"?
I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because
it Touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you.
Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a Federal
Benefit Payment .
This isn't a benefit . It is earned income! Not only did we all contribute
to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes .
If you averaged $30K per year over your working
life, that's close to $180,000 Invested in Social Security .
If you calculate the future value of your monthly
investment in social security( $375/month, including both your and your
employers contributions) at a meager 1% Interest rate compounded monthly,
after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!
This is your personal investment Upon retirement, if you took out only 3%
per year , you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month . That's
almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of
$1,230 per month ,according to the Social Security Administration
( Google it - its a fact).
And your retirement fund would last more than 33
years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much
better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government
had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts ..
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a
bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did.
They took our money and used it elsewhere.
They forgot (Knew) that it was OUR money they were
taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to
them ..
And they didn't pay interest on the debt they
assumed . And recently, they've told us that the money won't support us for
very much longer .
But is it our fault they misused our investments?
And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a benefit , as if we
never worked to earn every penny of it.
Offered by John C. Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't mean that
our investments were a charity !
Let's take a stand ..
We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare .
Demand that our legislators bring some sense into
our government . Find a way to 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. *
99% of people won't forward this.
Will you?
*You can bet I WILL !!!*
I THINK WE SHOULD DEMAND THAT THEIR SALARIES AND RETIREMENTS BE CALLED
FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENTS. THIS WOULD BE MORE HONEST THAN WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY.
