I received their mail request for a big donation! That's how they requested it; a big donation. Their facts are wrong about social security, and this is intended to scare you into sending these grifters money, that will help only them pay for this mailing, just as they state it. The way they word this, makes it entirely legal for them to solicit money, but they have no more power to help the cause of social security than you or I do. If you have plenty of money, share it with them so they can afford a fabulous Christmas party, and a trip to Fiji, but don't think for a second this is helping social security.

Once contributed to good causes, constant barrage of mail asking for more money for repetitive surveys and causes. Way too much!

My wife started getting letters from this group about 3 months ago - sounding very impressive and urgent. Using their prepaid envelope I repeatedly requested that they stop sending them and save their money. They have not stopped.

I am leery of this place for the simple reason that I didn't begin receiving mailings from them until late in this game, so why now?!! All along, I have been receiving them from the "Alliance for Retired Americans," which strikes me as being more credible.

Questions & Answers

From Quora: Did the federal government borrow from social security?

NO!! They "STOLE" it. Borrowing has the implied intention of repaying. They have no intention of ever paying it back.

(From Quora) Why Don't Members of Congress Pay Social Security Taxes?

While I have often criticized Congress for treating the Social Security Trust Fund like a piggy bank, I am perplexed by the consistent rumors on the internet that Congressmen don’t pay payroll taxes. Since 1984, Members of Congress have been required to pay into the Social Security Trust Fund. Currently, Members of Congress are paid $174,000 a year. They pay Social Security Withholding Taxes on the first $127,200 — just like other people. So the obvious next question is why do Members of Congress only pay Social Security Withholding Taxes on the first $127,200 of their income? The truth is that no one — including Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and other billionaires — pays Social Security Withholding Taxes on income of above $127,700. Many people believe that results in a regressive tax and there are current proposals being considered by Congress to raise the limit on withholding but they haven’t gained popular support.
