Friends:

If you read this you'll understand why no one in Congress is in a hurry to
save the Social security system:

This must be an issue in 2003 and 2004. Please keep it going.  You won't
have any special wishes come true, or anything like that by sending it to
the people you know, but you might
eventually get a little bit better government.

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.  Our
Senators and Congressmen do
not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare
elevation in society.  They felt they should have a special plan for
themselves.  Many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.  In more
recent years, no congressperson 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,
they continue to draw the same pay until they die, except it may increase
from time to time for cost of living adjustments.  For example, Senator
Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00
(that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand), with their wives drawing
$275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.  This is calculated on an
average life span for each.  Their cost for this excellent plan is $00.00.
Nada.  Zilch.  This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them.
You and I pick up the tab for this plan.  The funds for this fine
retirement plan come directly from the General Funds-our tax dollars at
work!  From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have
paid) into-every payday until we retire (which
amount is matched! by our employer)--we can expect to get an average $1,000
per month after retirement.  Or, in other words, we would have to collect
our average of $1,000 monthly benefits
for 68 years and one (l) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.  And
that change would be to jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under
the Senators and Congressmen.  Put them into the Social Security plan with
the rest of us and then watch how fast they would fix it.  If enough people
receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good
changes will evolve.

How many people can YOU send this to?  Or will you just read this and
ignore your rights, saying what good would it do?
