Who died before they collected Social Security?

 

 

Want to see your representative do the "Washington-two-step".   Ask this question.                                                               Who died before they    collected Social Security?       KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT...           THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!     THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!   WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?   Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your employer did, too.  It totaled 15% of your income before taxes.   If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. Read that again.   Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny? We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and me that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.   Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows).   After 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.   THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID. Entitlement my foot; I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!   Remember the benefits for members of Congress? +   free healthcare, +   outrageous retirement packages, +67 paid holidays, + three weeks paid vacation, + unlimited paid sick days.   Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?   They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.   Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.

Watch this man obliterate the world record for the longest hoverboard flight
// The Next Web

A few weeks back, French jet ski champion Franky Zapata released a video testing this amazing hoverboard that can (theoretically) propel its riders up to 10,000 feet in the air. The video quickly went viral and despite having impressed its viewers, Zapata's remarkable invention – that he calls the Flyboard Air – left many people in doubt about the authenticity of what they've seen. Last week, however, Zapata put out new footage of him flying the hoverboard that decisively answers the doubts of all the naysayers. In his latest video, Zapata not only proves the Flyboard Air is real, but also sets a new world record for the longest…
