2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and 1/2 of the house of
representatives. It would be nice if congress got the message; the voting
taxpayers are in charge now.

Social Security & Medicare 2009

LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE
INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN ORDEMOCRAT!

KEEP IT GOING!!!!

Propose this in 2009:

START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND WHEN RETIRED ON
MEDICARE

----------------------------------

SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE:

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Representatives do not pay into Social Security or Medicare
and, of course, they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security & Health Care Benefits were not suitable for
persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a
special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own
benefit plans.


In more recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it.
After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die. Except
it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.
...............................................

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect
to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand
Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of
their lives. And they receive full health care-no refusal of treatment and
no donut hole for them. This is calculated on an average life span for each
of those two Dignitaries.

Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more
during the rest of their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00.

ZIP!! NADA!!! ZILCH!!!

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick
up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come
directly from the General Funds;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!


>From our own Social Security and Medicare Plan, which you and I pay (or have

paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our
employer), we can expect to get an avg. of $1,000 per month after
retirement, and limited health care coverage.

Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly
benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's
benefits!

Social Security and Medicare could be very good if only one small change
were made.

That change would be to:

JERK the Golden Fleece Retirement and Health Care Plans from under the
Senators and Representatives. Put them into the Social Security and Medicare
plan with the rest of us.

Then sit back.....

And see how fast they would fix 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?

Better yet......

How many people WILL you send this to?
