Our Senators/Congressmen do not pay into Social Security, and, therefore
they do not collect from it. Social Security benefits were not suitable for
them. They felt they should have a special plan. Many years ago they voted
in their benefit plan. In more recent years, no congress person has felt
the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.
For all practical purposes, their plan works like this: When they retire no
matter how long they have been in office, they continue to draw their same
pay until they die, except it may be increased from time to time by the
cost-of-living adjustments.
For example, former Senator Bill Bradley (New Jersey) and his wife may be
expected to draw $7,900,000.00 over an average life span, with Mrs.
Bradley drawing $275,000.00 during the last year of her life. Their cost
for this excellent plan is "0," nada, zilch. This little perk they voted in
for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan.
Our tax dollars at work! Social Security, which you and I pay into every
payday for our own retirement, with an equal amount matched by our employer,
we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month.
Or, we would have to collect our benefits for 68 years and 1 month to equal
the Bradley's benefits. Imagine for a moment that you could structure a
retirement plan so desirable, a retirement plan that worked so well, that
Railroad Employees, Postal Workers, and others who were not in the plan
would clamor to be included. This is how good Social Security could be, if
only one small change was made. That change would be to jerk the Golden
Fleece Retirement Plan out from under the Senators/Congressmen. Put them
into the Social Security plan with the rest of us. Watch how fast they fix
it!!!
If enough people receive this maybe a seed will be planted, and maybe good
changes will evolve.
Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, thanks to the infinite
wisdom of New York State voters, now comes under this Congressional
Retirement Plan.
Talking about the Clinton's, it's common knowledge that, in order for her to
establish NYS residency, they purchased a million + house in upscale
Chappaqua, NY. Makes sense. Now, they are entitled to Secret Service
protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes
interesting.
A residency had to be built in order to house the Secret Service agents.
The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service rent for the use of said
residence and that rent is just about equal to their mortgage payment,
meaning that we, the tax payers, are paying the Clinton's mortgage and it's
all perfectly legal.
How many people can YOU send this to?
