Some FACTS, in case you didn’t know, about American legislators …things
most
folks don’t know.

Our Senators and Congressmen don’t pan into Social Security and of course
they don’t collect from it.

The reason is that they have a special retirement plan that they voted for
themselves many years ago.

For all practical purposes, it works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw their same pay, until they die,
except that it may be increased from time to time by cost of living
(COLA’S)
adjustments

For example, Former Senator Bradley, and his wife may be expected to draw
$7,900,000, with Mrs. Bradley drawing $275,000 during the last year of her
life. This is calculated on an average life span for each.

This would be well and good, except that they paid nothing in on any kind
of
retirement, and nor does any other Senator or Congressman.

This fine retirement comes right out of the General Fund:  Our Tax Money.

While we, who pay for it all, draw an average of $1,000 a month from Social

Security.

Imagine for a moment that you could structure a retirement plan so
desirable
that people would have extra deducted so that they could increase their own

personal retirement income.

A retirement plan that works so well, that Railroad employees, Postal
Workers, and others who aren’t in it would clamor to get in.

That is how good Social Security could be, if only one small changer were
made: That change is to jerk the GOLDEN FLEECE retirement out from under
the
Senators and Congressmen, and put them in Social Security with the rest of
us. Then watch how fact they fix it!

If enough people receive this, maybe one or some of them along the way
might
be able to help.

How many can YOU send it to?
