Here's a little quiz for you!

This being the "political season," it's very interesting to observe the rhetoric being offered up by both the Democrats and the Republicans. And it is also very important that we not forget a few facts of history on election day; so I wonder if you are aware of under which political party was the following done while it was in the seat of power in Washington?

1. Took Social Security out of the independent "Trust Fund" and placed it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it!

2. Eliminated the income tax deduction for payments (FICA) the people make into Social Security!

3. Started taxing Social Security annuities!

4. Enacted a law giving SSI Social Security payments to immigrants who never paid a dime into it!

HINT: It wasn't the Republican Party!
