wormdogg10Something interesting I read earlier

Who died before they could draw their Social Security? KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT... THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!! 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 THATMONEY GO? Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security, but your employer did, too. It totals 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 one single penny? We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government. 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. If you have a deceased spouses who died in their 50's -- their S.S. money will never have one cent drawn from what they paid into S.S. all their lives over the past 30 years! 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?!? We're "broke" and we can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, or Homeless. Yet in the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile and Turkey. And now Pakistan......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS... if not TRILLIONS of DOLLARS are unaccounted for!!! 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. Sad isn't it. 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm in the 1% -- I just did.
wormdogg10Video looks interesting,on cellphone atm so can't watch the whole thing..but I think the $$ spent on special ed and bilingual ed is a waste...more kids should be mainstreamed into "normal" classes and taught mainstreamed...sure their are exceptions but to many school budgets are stretched due to special ed...and a big reason like towns w/ exceptional school systems are opting out of school choice type programs that take in urban kids...they just special ed them thus eating up precious taxpayers money......and as far as incacerated convicts getting 8 cents an hour....well we differ there...to me it's 8 cents an hout to much....they get 3 hots and a cot each day along w/ free healthcare...maybe upon release those folks should be making retributions to the taxpayer who have been footing their bill....."do the crime,do the time..see ya when you get out and gl2u"..should be the last thing a convict here's from judge at sentencing.
And then when he gets out of jail and has not a dollar to his name and he decides to carjack somebody so he can eat that day hope to god it aint you!

“We (the U.S.A.) incarcerate people at a rate about six times that of China, which we have traditionally regarded as a dictatorship.
"The United States' incarceration rate is, according to official reports, the highest in the world, at 737 persons imprisoned per 100,000 (as of 2005). In comparison, Russia has the second highest 577 per 100,000, Canada is 123rd in the world with 117 per 100,000, and China has 120 per 100,000. A report released in 2008 indicates that in the United States more than 1 in 100 adults is now confined in an American jail or prison. The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population."

Translation" I think slavery is and always will be a good thing"
For real? Why does this shit always get thrown around? That's not what he was saying at all. What he was saying is those days are long gone, and we all have the opportunity to choose the direction & path our lives take. We're in control of that. We can either take control of it, or sit around and gripe about how hard it is, those who take control, and put in the hard work will succeed.
