Social Security

Who died 

before, 

they collected Social Security?

 THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH

THE

GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF

AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS 

 THEY FORGOT

TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED, BEFORE 

THEY EVER

COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK! 

WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO? 

Remember, not only did you, 

and I contribute to Social Security, but your employer did, too. 

It totaled 15% of your income,  before taxes. 

 If you averaged only $30K,

 over your working life, 

that's close to $220,500. 

Read that again! 

Did you see where,

  
the Government 
paid in

not one single penny? 

We are talking about the money you and your employer 

put in a Government bank,

 to insure you and me,

  that we would have a

retirement check,

 from the money we put in, 

Now they are calling the money 

we put in an entitlement,

 when we reach the age,

 to take it back. 

If you calculate,

 the future invested value of $4,500 per year

(yours & your employer's contribution) 

at a simple 5% interest, 

(less than what the Government pays,

 on the money that it borrows). 
After 49 years of working

 you'd have $892,919.98. 

If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year, and it would last 

better than 30 years

(until you're 95!

 if you retire at age 65),

 and that's with no

interest paid on that final amount on deposit! 

If you bought an annuity,

and it paid 4% per year, 

you'd have a 

lifetime income of

$2,976.40 per month. 

THE FOLKS IN

WASHINGTON

HAVE PULLED OFF A

BIGGER 

 PONZI SCHEME 

THAN 

BERNIE MADOFF

EVER DID!

Entitlement my foot; 

I paid cash, 

for my social security insurance! Just because,

 they borrowed the money,

 for other government spending, 
 doesn't make my benefits

some kind of charity or handout! 

Remember Congressional

benefits?

free healthcare, 
outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, 
three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days. 

Now that's welfare, and 

they have the nerve 

to call 

my social security 

retirement payments

"entitlements"? 

They call Social Security and

Medicare an entitlement,

 even though

most of us have been paying for

it all our working lives, 

and now, when it's time for

us to collect, 

the government 

is running out of money. 

Why did the government 
 borrow from it in the first place? 

It was supposed 
to be in a locked box,

not part of the general fund!
