Stop Social Security Cuts!
President Obama and Democrats seem to be at it again. Today President Obama released his budget proposal including cutting Social Security.
We need to stop government from playing with Social Security. Social Security is NOT an entitlement. Look at your paycheck. Each pay period FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) is deducted from your check This is as the name states, "Insurance" for your retirement implemented by the government of the United States to help people pay for their retirement.
You pay into this fund so you have something in retirement, you pay your entire life and government is trying to make the program a TAX, not an retirement account as our government intended.
Miss management of funds by congress is NOT the responsibility of the people. Government spent the "excess" which was not an excess in the first place long before it was due to citizens. Now the money has been spent and government tells you it is an entitlement; of which it is NOT; all so they do NOT have to pay the PEOPLE back.
Time to speak out and do something. Tell your congress members you will NOT tolerate them taking money we are due because of their inability to manage a budget. Social Security is NOT an entitlement but money we are owed. Stop taking it away!
If we do NOT act now the day is coming your 401(k) will be your only retirement and government will change your FICA retirement into another tax you pay without benefit... If this happens YOU are risking having NOTHING when you retire as your 401(k) is only as stable as the market and GOVERNMENT wants it this way!

Why is this important?
Proposed Chained Consumer Price Index reducing Social Security and Medicare benefits to retired military and citizens. Social Security is NOT an entitlement it is pay for by American Citizens with each paycheck and listed as FICA. We need to ACT or government will have you and your grandchildren literally working yourself to the grave!
