Thought I would post it and see if you guys could help me answer her question.

SOCIAL SECURITY:

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 party took Social Security from an independent fund
and put
it
in the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic-controlled House
and
Senate.
Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?
A: The Democratic party.

Q: Which party increased the tax on Social Security?
A: The Democratic ! Party with Al Gore casting the deciding vote.

Q: Which party decided to give money to immigrants?
A: That's right, immigrants moved into this country and at 65
got SSI
Social Security. The Democratic Party gave that to them
although they
never paid a dime into it.

Then, after doing all this, the Democrats turn around and tell
you the
Republicans want to take your Social Security.

And the worst part about it is, people believe it!

Pass it on please!
