i just watched the movie the Queen (which was an extrordinary movie by the way) and the way it showed Tony Blair to be living was just in a regular house, in a regular neighborhood, his driver would just drop him off at his house and he would walk up to his door by himself, which is actually pretty cool if it is thats true... so is it?

What happened with this promise?
Franklin D. Roosevelt promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

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, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

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 Democratically-controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

MY FAVORITE

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive SSI Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violation of 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 citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

Let's assume that government provides health care . Are doctors independent or government employees ? Who decides how many doctors there can be ? If I choose to see a doctor every day just because I'm lonely , who pays for it ? Or who stops it ? What if I really am sick ?

My friend wants a penis: who decides if he can have it ?

Who decides ? In many countries with universal health care , citizens cannot choose to get health care outside the system . How free is that ? If health care is free , that means whole blood is free . Will we continue to have voluntary blood donations ? Or will there be an IBSS (Internal Blood Sucking Service) that will take 10% or your blood every month for the blood bank ? Will there be a progressive blood taking system wherein the healthiest people will be required to give more blood ? A higher percentage that is . Is abortion on demand universally available ? Since under universal health care all must pay for the health care of anyone who needs it - will there be healthy life-style standards that each person must meet ? No greasy burgers , no cigarettes , a medium size glass of wine each day , 30 minutes of aerobics ?

Anyway it is my opinion that Universal health care would make us less free by limiting our freedoms .

Anyone agree ?

Why is this not the number one topic of discussion for the Candidates...tax reform would solve most of the issues that Washington is concerned with. It would solve wage issues, lower prices on every product we purchase and fund social security and the federal Government. The Poor would get rebate checks and the rich could invest money into more jobs. “We all win”. So what is the problem? Why are our Politicians afraid of the Fair Tax?

I love bacon (it's nearly my favorite type of meat) but any pork will do.

I think the American way of government is the best ever (and everyone else thinks so, too) because when some senators want to steal money from everyone in America to give it to people who wear t-shirts with a donkey emblem, the other senators say OK, you can steal money from everyone else and give it to your friends who wear the shirts with donkeys as long we also can steal money from everyone else and give it to our friends who have an elephant emblem on their shirts. It would be silly to live in a country where the senators told each other, "No, you can't steal from everyone else to give money to your friends." I mean what good would it be to have senators as friends then??

I love bacon, always have and always will!

Its coming to that eventually. So you should give it some thought now.
If the people on whom your are forcing secular democratic government and freedom reject you and demand you leave their country what do you do then and by what authority?
