   I don't understand why people vote democratic knowing that The Democratic Party fought and tried to maintain and expand slavery. Not to mention, the Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan. Please do your research, people

   MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. & NOW ??
   
   The wise listen to increase their learning
   
   Where the scorners of wisdom close their mind.
   
   The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge
   
   For a soul without grace becomes confined.

   Our knowledge can help us fulfill our dreams
   
   Though most of the time with wisdom comes grief.
   
   For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance
   
   Exposing within the liar or thief.

   A wise mind is a fountain of life;
   
   To teach others it's knowledge before death.
   
   Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain
   
   Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath.

   Fill yourself with love and understanding,
   
   For wisdom makes the human face shine.
   
   Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war
   
   While on ignorance, fools continue to dine.

   The words of the wise are heard in quiet
   
   More than the loud shouts of screaming fools.
   
   Wisdom and knowledge cause stability
   
   In the lives of those who use them as tools.

   We should shun with wisdom that which is evil
   
   And glorify with knowledge that which is good.
   
   Better is the gift of learning than gold
   
   For by virtue we become what we should.

   Both political parties selectively cherrypick Dr Martin Luther King’s words to suit their own agenda.
   In so doing, they deliberately distort what this great man was about. And do nothing to address the underlying inequality faced by the descendants of the enslaved.

   How can Democrats celebrate Martin Luther King, when it's obvious, they no longer support his vision for America?
   M.L.K. famously said "Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character", which is antithetical to "Critical Race Theory", which is now supported by the DNC. M.L.K. was about peaceful protest, something the Democrats no longer believe, as BLM has demonstrated many time over during the last few years.
   M.L.K. would more properly belong in the Republican Party today, as does his daughter, Alveda King.

    "Nonviolence is the answer to crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."

    MLK had the "antiquated" idea that people should be judged by the content of their character insted of the color of their skin!!!! Can you imagine anyone thinking that today? Kinda like JFK saying "ask not what your country can do for you" Can you imagine any Demonrat saying that today?? Demonrats have really gone down the toilet!!!

    We are working class people of the world. want all the minutes of every Bilderberg meeting since WW2. We believe the planning of Corvid, and the destruction of western civilization are in these minutes. We are now only finding out in 2022 that our English globalist Narcissistic upper and middle class gave instructions to the EU to replace us !! The question is this. Which Bilderberg member will come forward and name them ?

    Why Is Social Security Running Out of Money?
    
    Dec 21, 2022 INVESTOPEDIA

    Demographic changes mean more retirees, fewer workers paying payroll taxes

    The Social Security Act became law with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signature on Aug. 14, 1935. But it would take more time for the Social Security program to turn into the mainstay of the U.S. social safety net.

    Created as a contributory old-age insurance scheme with limited and phased-in benefits for retirees, Social Security extended benefits to survivors of beneficiaries by 1939, to farm and domestic workers as well as the self-employed in 1950, and to the disabled in 1957. Meanwhile, Congress postponed planned payroll tax increases during the program's early years.

    The pattern favoring political expediency over the system's long-term solvency persists. With payroll taxes no longer fully covering the benefits paid out, Social Security's cash reserves are projected to run out by 2034, subjecting recipients at that time to a reduction in benefits of more than 20% without a legislative fix.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Social Security benefits are funded by a dedicated payroll tax paid by employees and employers.

    Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system in which receipts and any accumulated surplus fund everyone's benefits; payroll tax contributions are not reserved for future payouts to the particular taxpayer.

    As Baby Boomers retire and the U.S. population ages, fewer workers are left to contribute toward the benefits of each retiree.
    
    Social Security's retirement benefits trust fund is projected to deplete reserves in 2034, leaving it reliant on tax receipts covering 77% of scheduled benefits.

    Members of Congress continue to put forth proposals to address the shortfall in the Social Security program.
    
    Understanding Social Security

    The Social Security program is funded through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax, a dedicated payroll tax. Social Security taxes amount to 12.4% of wages up to a cap on taxable annual income set at $147,000 for 2022 and $160,200 for 2023. Employees and employers split the tax contributions 50/50, with employees paying 6.2% of their wages and employers paying the other 6.2%.

    If you are self-employed, you pay the entire 12.4%, though you can deduct half of that from taxable income as a business expense.

    Receipts go into the Social Security trust funds, which use them to pay benefits. The funds invest any surplus in U.S. government debt.

    The payroll taxes you contribute to the Social Security system are not set aside to pay your benefits once you are eligible. Rather, it funds payouts for current beneficiaries or is saved as part of the system's surplus.

    This means that everyone's future benefits depend on the solvency of the entire Social Security system rather than on their own contributions.

    2034

    The year the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund used to pay Social Security retirement benefits will be depleted, according to the latest projections by Social Security trustees. At that point, ongoing payroll receipts will cover 77% of scheduled benefits.

    The Problem With Social Security

    Americans have fewer children and live longer, trends that contribute to an aging population.

    The outsized generation of Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) is retiring at a record pace, further lowering the proportion of the population in the workforce.

    Based on U.S. Census projections, 17% of the population was age 65 and over in 2020; that share is expected to increase to 24% by 2060. Meanwhile, the proportion of the working-age population is due to shrink from about 62% in 2020 to 57% in 2060.

    As a result, there will be fewer workers to support each retiree in the future. The ratio of workers paying Social Security taxes per beneficiary is projected to decline from 2.8 in 2021 to 2.3 by 2035.

    Social Security's trust fund for retirement benefits is projected to deplete its reserves in 2034 when tax receipts are expected to cover 77% of the scheduled benefits.

    The age at which Americans born in 1960 or later qualify for the largest available benefit from Social Security.

    Possible Solutions

    Fortunately, a large, across-the-board benefits cut is only the worst-case scenario, for now. Congress has more than a decade to act to shore up Social Security's finances, and lawmakers continue to generate proposals for doing so. The Social Security Administration routinely publishes estimates of such plans' projected effects on the Social Security trust funds.

    The growing population of retirees is likely to become an even more politically powerful constituency, one with a direct financial incentive to defend Social Security benefits and assure the system's future. Despite its reluctance to increase Social Security payroll taxes in the program's early years, Congress has subsequently approved numerous such hikes to preserve the program.

    Proposals to means-test benefits and eliminate the annual cap on income subject to Social Security taxes have fewer historical precedents but may enjoy more popular support.

    Social Security's projected long-term funding shortfall of 1.2% of the gross domestic product (GDP) is manageable, but the longer the fix takes the more painful it is likely to prove for all concerned.
