The True History of Social Security

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt

32^nd President, Democrat

Terms:  March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945

He Promised

• That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary, 
• That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first   $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
• That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,
• That the money the participants put into the Independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and
• That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ’Put Away’

Dwight David Eisenhower

34^th. President, Republican,

Term:  January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961

Vincent Peter Render,
If  I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress, not President Eisenhower, voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If  I recall correctly, it was a democratically controlled Congress. 

From what I understand, Congress’ logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.

Lyndon Baines Johnson 

36^th. President, Democrat

Term: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969
