Enough with Government and their threats to cut or end Social Security


Enough with Government and their threats to cut or end Social Security
The Issue
Nearly 66 million Americans depend on Social Security to pay their bills. How many years have the American people faced Government, especially congress threatening to reduce or end Social Security, which rightfully belongs to the people? Americans work for years, and social security deductions are taken from paychecks consistently. Yet, over the years, it appears Government has borrowed against Social Security through the sale of bonds and invest in capital while paying back a portion of what is borrowed through interest. Hence, the question is, where is the principal? Does this sound like a Ponzi scheme? Yes! It is time for accountability. Give us our money back and cease to continue deducting from our paychecks and allow the American people to decide where they want to invest their money.
Additionally, where are social security dollars going when an American passes away and has paid into Social Security during their working years? It was disconcerting to find that after my mother died, her Social Security would return to the Government. She worked for over 45 years and retired for only a short period before her passing. A law should require Social Security to be given to the deceased's children regardless of whether they are over 18 years old. If no children exit, social security should go to the estate. Social Security is money that you and your loved ones have earned by putting in hard labor.
Please share this same passion as I do and sign this petition calling for Government Action Now.
