Social Security

Which Party Helped Social Security

More basic to the point, when Social Security was launched by FDR, the average life expectancy of an American was 62 years.

Sooooooo, you had money deducted from your earnings every month under the assumption that it would fund a pension that would begin-----you guessed it----when you reached the age when you would die.

Unlike private investment accounts, all of your "investment" is kept by the government when you die. What a neat scam.

SOCIAL SECURITY: 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:
