SOCIAL SECURITY’S ROLE IN THE 25 PLUS YEAR ASSAULT ON MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA
-
In 1983 politicians passed legislation obligating millions of
current and future hard working Americans to overpay their social security taxes
for the purpose of building up the social security trust fund cash balance to
offset future funding needs created by the now retiring 78 million baby boomers
-
Millions of hard working Americans have kept their end of the deal - Politicians
chose to renege
From day one, politicians began using a little known financial instrument,
unique to the social security trust fund, called a special obligation bond
program, in essence an IOU. Every dollar of social security tax overpayments
have been replaced with an IOU, and the social security tax overpayments have
been transferred to the general revenue fund
Once comingled with other tax receipts in the general revenue fund, social
security tax dollars lose their unique identity, allowing politicians to spend
hard working American’s retirement dollars on something other than intended,
without proper public scrutiny. In effect the left hand of government has been
borrowing from the right hand of government
This special obligation bond (SOB/IOU) program has not only destroyed 2.5
trillion dollars worth of potential social security trust fund assets, but has
created 2.5 trillion dollars of new social security IOU debt; a net 5 trillion
dollar assault on middle class working Americans
-
To put it bluntly, for the past 25 plus years, politicians have been treating
middle class working American s like rented mules, clearly using deceit and
deception to destroy their ability to save and invest for their own retirement;
even rented mules deserve better!
-
It’s time to address this issue in a fair and equitable manner, and that’s what
the ACT solution does
