Seniors To Get Screwed – A Third Time?
While the insanity and madness continues out in DC by absolute scum bags in the MSM, members of the Democratic/Communist Party USA and various Hollywood ‘stars’ in their efforts to destroy President Trump, bills have been introduced in Congress that are getting ZERO attention we must fight to get passed.
For the THIRD time, Rep. Thomas Massie [R-KY] has introduced a bill to stop taxing social security benefits. No more federal taxes taken out of YOUR social security check. The time to stop this rape should have happened four years ago but it never happened because there wasn’t an outcry by tens of millions of Americans. I’ve done my best over the years to bring the bill to everyone’s attention as has many hard working folks in organizations like AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, who have supported the bill each time Rep. Massie has introduced it only to see it die in committee.
Rep. Massie Re-introduces the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, May 19, 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Today, Congressman Thomas Massie re-introduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act (H.R. 2552), which would eliminate income taxes on Social Security benefits. The bill would boost the retirement income of millions of older Americans. Social Security is financed with Americans’ tax dollars, so taxing Social Security is double-taxing by the Federal Government,” said Congressman Massie. “Taxing Social Security reduces benefits to seniors.”
“I am proud to again co-sponsor Congressman Massie’s bill to protect our seniors,” said Congressman Rod Blum. “This is a common sense bill that will end the double-taxation of our seniors. Our seniors pay enough Social Security taxes on the front end, and it is irresponsible for the government to tax them again on their earned benefits.”
“Income taxes on Social Security benefits is a double-tax on seniors when many are already being squeezed financially,” said Congressman Daniel Webster. “This is wrong and I’m pleased to co-sponsor this legislation to repeal this tax.” Congressman Jim Bridenstine said, “The government taxes, redistributes, then taxes the redistribution. Thomas Massie’s bill is a step in the right direction.”
“West Virginia seniors need relief from higher costs of living,” said Congressman Alex Mooney. “Seniors have worked hard to earn their Social Security benefits and have already been taxed on their contributions to Social Security. The Federal Government tax on Social Security is a double-tax and its repeal would provide an immediate increase in benefits for our seniors.”
“Here is all the information on the bill.
The bill has to get out of committee: House Ways & Means – the most powerful committee in the Outlaw Congress. One sub-committee deals with nothing but social security. Guess what? H.R. 2552 isn’t even on their agenda. Coordinate with family, friends, groups and organizations and flood that committee with phone calls and faxes: We the people DEMAND H.R. 2552 go to the House floor for a vote.
I can tell you right now why the majority of those lying, thieving incumbents in Congress don’t want it to get to a vote on the house floor: Because they need to keep stealing every penny they can from you to pay for the run-away train wreck called a budget. They don’t care about seniors or robbing them blind via double taxation. This may be our last chance. Rep. Massie has now introduced the bill THREE times.
Here is the full membership of House Ways & Means, Republicans and Democrats. Divide up the list. Click on the Rep’s photo. It goes to their official page with phone and fax numbers both for DC and district offices. Only massive heat is going to get that bill to the House floor for a vote.
4. DEMAND your unlawfully serving U.S. Senator introduce the same bill in the Senate. Bombard his/her office. You want the same bill as the House, get it introduced. I know. Only 1/3rd of the RATS in the Senate are up for reelection in 2018, but that bill will be active until December 31, 2018.
5. Write a short letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Yes, people do read them. Give the bill number, what it’s about and tell people to flood their U.S. House members offices and demand the bill be brought to the floor for a vote. And, demand the Senate do the same.
6. If you can, make up a simple flyer: BILL IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO STOP FEDERAL TAXATION OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
Use the quotes at the top of this column along with the bill number. Pass the flyer out at community and senior centers (with permission) all across this country. Build a tidal wave aimed right at Congress AND in the media. Use social networks to get the word out as well as networking through groups or organization chapters.
Do you know what a podcast is? I didn’t until a couple of months ago. Do you know podcasts are one of the BIGGEST forms of information providing out there? Say someone can’t tune into a radio show because they have to take Susie to the dentist or a senior is in the hospital for minor surgery and the subject matter is this bill. That listener missed vital information that affects he or she. Perhaps someone doesn’t catch this column so they also miss this information. But a podcast can be downloaded into iTunes, Smart Phones and just about any other form of tech gadget out there and listened to whenever the person has the time. I tell you I was absolutely amazed at the power of podcasting once I started doing the research.
So, I was asked if I wanted my own show and said yes. Now, yours truly does a podcast every Thursday at 1:00 pm CST: What Congress and the Media Won’t Tell You. You can listen live or simply download and listen when you can AND pass it along to everyone on your mailing list, use Twitter to family friends and chapters of organizations like tea party, 9-12 groups or whoever. It’s amazing. My podcast this past Thursday was on this bill to stop taxing SS benefits so help get the word out. Here’s how.
Don’t think we can’t get this done. There are more than 60 MILLION seniors collecting SS benefits (not counting ILLEGAL aliens). One day you’ll be one, too. Maybe you’re in your 50’s and know you’re not going to have enough in savings or some 401(k) to live at other than the poverty level on SS. Get involved in this effort. Stop taxing your SS benefits will put hundreds more in your bank account each month.
Help your parents and grand parents who are likely collecting SS benefits each month. I was shocked and delighted by the massive uproar over Common Core. Americans from all walks of life, parents and grandparents alike, got educated on the issue and creamed the shadow government’s plans to finish off destroying public education. The uproar was heard from coast to coast and still is. We can do the same to get this bill passed in Congress in THIS session. I have no doubt President Trump would sign it into law.
