This was passed along to me by my mother. Not sure who she got it from. It's passed with the idea of passing it along. Seems like a damn good plan to me. It's about time those thieves in office got a wake-up call. Sadly, they also seem to be the ones with the power to keep this going for them. But, worth a try.

Please! Keep it going. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0---------------------------------- =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0SOCIAL SECURITY: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.) =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. ! =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0You see, Social Security benefits were not suitableforpersons of their rare elevation in society.They felt they should have aspecial planfor themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their ownbenefit plan. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0For all practical purposes their plan works like this: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0When they retire, they =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0continue to draw the same pay until they die. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0For example, former 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. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Younger Dignitarieswho retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Their cost for this excellent plan is$0.00. NADA....ZILCH.... =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0This 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; =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! " =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0From our own Social Security 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 average of$1,000 per monthafter retirement. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Or, 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! =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0That change would be to: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us ..... =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0then sit back..... =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0and watch how fast they would fix it. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0How many people can YOU send this to? =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Better yet..... =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0How many peopleWILLyou send this to?? =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Keep this going clear up thru the
2004 election!! We need to be heardJOAT A clear case of sub-optimization with respect to the ratio of effort to enhanced effects.
