MICKEY
Here in Texas there are vendors at almost every freeway off ramp at the stop light. So far the most common vendors are selling the daily newspaper and bottled water with a small piece of paper saying that proceeds go to charity (sure). Well the most persistent of them all is this drunk guy that hasn't missed a day of work in over 2 weeks. Every day he is there with his empty cup walking up and down between the cars looking for "hand-outs". Just the other morning at the gas station about 9:30 am, we saw him inside purchasing a 40oz. bottle of Mickey Beer, so we have given him the proper name of "MICKEY". ..... and no we have not donated to his cause. The picture was taken from a cell phone as we were driving by.
YOUR MONEY
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson
Your Social Security
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids.
They need a little history lesson on what's what . And it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are facts!!!
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He 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?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
they began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them
even though they never paid a dime into it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, after violating 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 changes will
evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can
YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

100 YEARS
"100 YEARS FROM NOW it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. However, the world will be different because I was important in the life of a child."
$3 DOLLARS
Well, as I go from neighborhood to neighborhood I run into all types of people. Most situations repeat themselves, but this guy for sure was unique and will most likely never be duplicated. Sitting out in his cozy chair with cigarette in hand begging for a few dollars.

OH YEAH
I don't know why I have been craving these so much lately, but there is nothing like a great, old fashioned donut. I know there is a lot of money and popularity with the Krispy Kreme and other iced and glazed donuts, but to me I love the cake donut.... something that you can chew and that kind of fills you up with something besides air. That along with ICE cold milk.... Oh Yeah!
