GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.

2004 Election Issue!!

This must be an issue in "2004". Please! Keep it going.

----------------------------------

SOCIAL SECURITY:

(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not
collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in
society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted
in their own

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, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.

Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.

For example, former Senator Bird 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.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.

Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of
their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH....

This 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;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From 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 month after retirement.

Or, 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!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and
Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us ... then sit back and
watch how fast they would fix it.

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes
will evolve.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Keep this going clear up thru the 2004 election!! We need to be heard
