One of our frequent visitors, Siddharthawolf, recently received an e-mail with the following questions and some answers:
Q1: Which political party took Social Security from the independent trust fund and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
Q2: Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
Q3: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
Q4: Which political party increased the taxes on Social Security annuities?
Q5: Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
The e-mail then gives answers that blame the Democrats for all of these things, as you might guess.
Don't be fooled! The real answers can be found on The Social Security Administration's Website. If you have received this e-mail, write back to the person who sent it to you, and tell them that you have found the definitive answers to these questions.
And if a Nigerian businessman wants to transfer several million dollars to your bank account, you might want to view that with a certain degree of skepticism.

Here are some better questions.
Q1: Which political party created Social Security?
Q2: Which political party created Medicare?
Q3: Which political party added COLAs, SSI, and Social Security Disability benefits?
Give the Democrats their due!
I never thought I'd live to see the day that an infamous email I sent out would get posted on a political webblog....I'm ashameda and embarassed. Not for being mentioned on the webblog, but for its contents....
