Social Security Robbed By Federal Government

JUST ON SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE:

Did you know: That Social Security is primarily funded through dedicated payroll deductions of 12.4%? And that during 2009 the total income of this plus interest was $807 billion? And that $686 billion in Social Security benefits were paid out? And that there was a surplus of $121 billion? That's right...a surplus!

This surplus is put into a Social Security Trust Fund of which the proceeds are paid into the U.S. Treasury where it can be used for "other" government purposes. Did you know that nearly $2.4 trillion of excess Social Security income, by 2008, were placed into this "Trust Fund", only to be used by our federal government for "other" purposes.

When you hear that "Social Security is broke" this is about as close to an outright lie that you will ever be told. The real truth is that the federal government has been raiding Social Security for some time.

Social Security is only ONE issue, our federal government has been cheating and stealing from the American people for many, many years. Our federal government is fraught with misuse of our money and corruption throughout every level of government.

This is where we should start as far as straightening out our financial crisis in America.
