> Social Security
>
> Perhaps we were asking the wrong questions in this
> past election year. Our Senators/Congressmen do
> not pay into Social Security, and, therefore they
> do not collect from it. Social Security benefits
> were not suitable for them.
>
> They felt they should have a special plan. Many
> years ago they voted in their benefit plan. In more
> recent years, no congress person has felt the need
> to change it. After all, it is a great plan.
>
> For all practical purposes, their plan works like this:
>
> When they retire no matter how long they have been in
> office, they continue to draw their same pay until they
> die, except it may be increased from time to time by the
> cost-of-living adjustments. For example, former Senator
> Bill Bradley (New Jersey) and his wife may be expected
> to draw $7,900,000.00 over an average life span, with
> Mrs. Bradley drawing $275,000.00 during the last year
> of her life. Their cost for this excellent plan is "$0",
> nada, zilch. This little perk they voted in for themselves
> is free to them.
>
> You and I pick up the tab for this plan. Our tax dollars
> at work! From Social Security, which you and I pay into
> every payday for our own retirement, with an equal amount
> paid in by our employer, we can expect to receive an
> average of $1,000 per month. We would have to collect
> our benefits for 68 years and 1 month to equal the Bradley's
> benefits.
>
> Imagine for a moment that you could structure a retirement
> plan so desirable, a retirement plan that worked so well,
> that Railroad Employees, Postal Workers, and others who were
> not in the plan would clamor to be included. This is how good
> Social Security could be, if only one small change was made.
>
> That change would be to jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement
> Plan out from under the Senators & Congressmen. Put them
> into the Social Security plan with the rest of us. Watch
> how fast they fix it!!!
>
> If enough people receive this message maybe a seed will
> be planted, and maybe good changes will evolve.
>
> Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, now comes
> under this Congressional Retirement Plan. Talking about
> the Clinton's, it's common knowledge that, in order for
> her to establish NY State residency, they purchased a
> $ million + house in upscale Chappaqua, NY. Makes sense.
>
> Now, they are entitled to Secret Service protection for
> life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes
> interesting.
>
> A residency had to be built in order to house the Secret
> Service agents. The Clinton's now charge the Secret
> Service rent for the use of said residence and that rent
> is just about equal to their mortgage payment, meaning
> that we, the tax payers, are paying the Clinton's mortgage,
> and it's all perfectly legal.

> How many people can YOU send this to?
