Congress is Cutting Social Security & Medicare
FACT: President Obama made an offer to Republican John Boehner to cut Social Security benefits and leave in place some of the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%. The cuts in Social Security would amount to a cut of more than 5 percent and MORE as the years go by. For many retirees this would mean critical cuts to benefits that cover medicine, food, and other daily necessities. As a registered voter be aware that the first politician to vote for any cuts will be the one I won't vote for!
Why is this important?
We've PAID for this investment. It is NOT an "Entitlement" !
Keep this petition going!
As individuals who have both worked since 16 years of age to pay into the social security system and medicare, we are furious that CUTS, not increases are being considered. Keep in mind, we are elders whose parents and grandparents paid into these funds since 1935, with interest! There should be such a large sum of paid with interest money in the fund to actually raise such EARNED benefits. Oh, that's right, these two groups of money have been placed into the 'general spending fund'. Take both out and place them back into their own untouchable funds again as they were originally set up to be --with interest! We need this for our old age. We were responsible and worked horribly hard and sacrificed all our lives and figured Social Security and Medicare into our retirement. Now they want to CUT them? Politicians ARE vote counters! Let them know! *Also, contact the White House, your Federal Senators and Representative PERSONALLY, letting them know you are a registered voter who objects and their job depends upon how they vote!
