Are You Ready to Retire at Age 70? Newly Proposed Law is Nothing More Than Political Power Grabbing of Your S.S.I. Retirement Savings…
Today a law is being drafted that will require you to work until the age of 70 before you can benefit from your Social Security Retirement Benefits which you have had deducted from your wages since the day you began to work. Additionally, new laws are being drafted with significantly cut funding to medical services to the disabled and elderly under the current governmental funded Medical Program.
Why is this occurring? The ever standing answer coming to the American citizens is to balance the budget and reduce the deficit. O.K., let’s look at America’s budget. Today 57% of governmental spending, which adds consistently to national debt with out putting anything back, comes from the military, in large part going towards continued arms development.
In comparison, today according to the Social Security Trustees, the Social Security Trust Fund will be able to pay full benefits until 2037, and incoming payroll taxes will be sufficient to pay about 78 percent of benefits thereafter.
Even though these are accurate current statistics, our government is telling its America People that the SSI Administration system is out of funds, or will shortly be going bankrupt; when, in fact the SSI Administration is currently solvent. So why are we being told that because the SSI funds are so greatly diminished we must now consider having the retirement age increased to the age of 70 years?
I believe it is because of political greed coupled with political ambition. How do these two things play into the picture as a whole? The politicians continue to line the pockets of their corporate and privatized agenda programs that do nothing to actually benefit the individual American citizens through your taxed dollars.
However, these same politicians wish to maintain their current political ambitions by remaining in office, and to do this they need your vote. However, they cannot continue to receive your vote of confidence if they continue to raise your taxes. So why not tap into your Social Security retirement funds; better yet, why not privatize these services to privately owned and politically directed corporations which then can tap into your retirement savings to fund their personal, political, and corporate agendas while they remain in office under your vote!
These politicians currently use this modest gap in long-term funding of the SSI Administration as a pretext to justify proposals for large cuts in Social Security benefits. One frequently-discussed change to Social Security is to increase the age at which a retiree receives full benefits. With this in place, these politically agenda driven politicians can tap into your savings. In essence, forcing you to work longer for less. Does that sound like something that is protecting you, or even in your best interest? Let’s look at the effect that change would place on your livelihood and your life itself.
For most workers, increasing the full retirement age, which currently is 66, will result in a cut in those worker’s benefits. This is especially true for seniors who take early retirement at age 62. For these seniors, the Social Security benefit is currently reduced by 30 percent. By increasing a person’s full retirement age to the age of 70, as some advocate, the ending result would be a reduction in their benefit of about 45 percent.
Some of us have the means to retire on reduced Social Security benefits at age 62. But what about those who don’t want to retire that soon, but are forced to do so? Those who advocate for a higher retirement age reluctantly agree that some workers won’t be able to stay in the labor force until they are age 70 either because they have physically-demanding jobs, or those whose health worsens as they age, may also not be able to work until age 70. The remedy proposed by these advocates is to apply for Social Security disability benefits. This sounds like a workable solution, but is it? Let’s consider how the disability program works today.
Although economists and others have proposed raising Social Security’s retirement age, such a dramatic change should not be made without considering what it will mean for millions of America’s workers. It will mean especially deep cuts for those who can afford them least – lower income workers and those whose physically-demanding occupations make it impossible for them to work to up until the age of 70. In an easy attempt to sidestep these problems, our government suggests that affected workers can just apply for disability. Let’s look at that option…
The Disability Program’s definition of disability is very tough. In fact, it is one of the most restrictive definitions of disability among all of the government’s disability programs. It’s possible, for example, to qualify for disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs or from Civil Service and still not qualify for Social Security disability.
Why is this? It’s all in the program’s definition of disability. To qualify for Social Security disability, a worker must be unable to perform any substantial work due to the worker’s physical and/or medical condition. Not only must the disabling condition be severe, it must be long-lasting. Those with short-term disabilities cannot qualify.
Benefits can’t be paid for a partial disability. A worker is either 100 percent disabled or is denied benefits. Only those with the most severe disabilities can qualify. That leaves out many people in their early to mid 60′s who have health problems that limit their ability to work without being totally disabled. For example, a recent report by the Social Security Administration’s Inspector General revealed that the DDSs deny 78 percent of all cases involving disorders of the back. They also deny 81 percent of cases involving diabetes and 80 percent of claims involving disorders of the muscles and ligaments. And these are just the kinds of impairments that affect older workers.
If qualifying for disability is so difficult, where would increasing the retirement age leave older workers? They would remain in the workforce if possible, yes. But what if these workers lose their jobs? Finding new employment is challenging for older workers in the best of times. It is even more difficult during economic downturns like the one we are experiencing today with an over-all unemployment rate of 9.7% per State and rising. The alternative simply would be for an individual to accept a massive reduction in Social Security benefits. That’s bad for older workers and its bad for America.
Faced with the added stressors of poverty, plausible homelessness, and the lack of adequate medical care, these seniors would inevitably perish – the burden of life now too difficult to manage. In death these helpless Americans, made helpless by their own government, would then leave their monies to remain in the SSI Administration account to be distributed out as per governmental discretion.
I personally see only tyranny in our current corrupted political system. Now, let’s compare your options in a Twelve Visions Party Protection Only Government. The Twelve Visions Party operates under the philosophy of a Prime Law Objective. Basically, the Prime Law is one of non-initiatory force being levied in any way over one’s individual life, their organizational developments in business, or as may pertain to the establishing and keeping of their personal property, and (this would include your Social Security Retirement Savings).
In fact, with the Prime Law Amendment added as the over-arching amendment to our U.S. Constitution, our government would repay to you your Social Security retirement contributions now! You would not have to wait until you are too old to work, or just die.
The Twelve Visions Party stands for a Protection Only Government. This means that there would be no funding of politically driven agendas through your taxed dollars. In fact, you would pay no governmental taxes at all to support politically driven agendas. Today, corporations are running America into the ground, literally. Under the Twelve Visions Party Platform, with the falling cost of living prices brought about by our Nation’s newly invigorated economic growth in industry, the unemployment rates would fall dramatically; the money that you have today that buys you little towards sustainment, would double your buying power due to falling prices.
I came across this additional video on this topic:
American can re-write her history and re-establish a government of the people, for the people, and by the people once again. I urge you to call 1-800-998-0180 to let your local Congressional Leader know that you don’t want your retirement age to increase, and that you are ready for a change in our political system.
Let your voice be heard through peaceful reasoning, honest evaluation, and dedication to your freedom and rights as an American Citizen. You can learn more about the Twelve Visions Party by visiting the links provided.

I think…………about so many things each day. And yet the one thing that keeps me going is the realization that so many people in America today feel totally helpless to pull themselves out of today’s economic whirlpool of decline and deficit.
When people start thinking about the governmental practices in our day, many people feel sarcastic, frustrated, and some even angry. People will inevitably succumb to these types of feelings when they feel helpless to stop what they perceive is a threat to their lifestyles.
The Neothink® Society is a lifestyle outside of the threat of today’s corrupt political system; it is a lifestyle that is coupled with in-depth thought and discipline; these attributes bring about solutions for life rather than frustrations and emotional ranting. This is possible for everyone that will stop being a victim and pursue their own individual solutions for change in their lives. The other day at the gym I listened to some ladies arguing that it was the Democrats’ that were ruining our countries economy, and in rebuttal the other replied it’s those greedy Republicans.
I spoke up and said neither the Democrats’ nor Republicans’ are empowered today in our economy to produce change because our government is ruined by the “Elite behind the Elite” and their Lobbyist Groups that are putting forth their own commercial agendas. The American people, as individuals, are the ones that will be either responsible for change or not.
We cannot continue to cry over the fact that things are wrong. We must take action and make our votes count. So who can we vote for if neither party is going to become efficient to our needs? When all of my shoes are old and worn and no longer serve the purpose of protecting my feet, then its time to go out and buy some new shoes. I would rather vote for myself if there are no TVP campaigners on the ballot. I would be throwing away my vote for any other platform anyway. So if I vote for myself (even if I may be throwing away a vote in some peoples’ mind); I simply don’t believe in anyone, excluding a TVP Candidate, other than myself. I know who I am….and I know I will balance all of my decisions guided under the ethics of the Prime Law.
Emotional outbursts are unfruitful as they are not guided discussions having thought behind them. The Neothink® Society and it’s Twelve Visions Party is guided by the master mind designs of the Prime Literature as written by Mark Hamilton…a genius whose motives are not motives driven by hostility; but rather they are driven by the hope for all people to live the most prosperous, healthy, and peaceful life possible.
A quote from Mark Hamilton,
“You should know…The people whom we are led to believe we hate will make even the poorest of us rich. RICH!!! The poor will be rich! The unhindered geniuses of society will make all of us rich just as they did in the computer industry! Wealth, Health, Peace shows you how!
The leaders whom we are led to believe we love will make the middle class poor. They are members of the manipulating ruling class who were never around the computer industry and who suppress us and suppress the geniuses of society who could MAKE US RICH!!! Wealth, Health, Peace shows you why!
The most ambitious get-rich plan since the beginning of time is upon us. And YOU can be the direct beneficiary. This has NEVER BEEN DONE before! NEVER CONCEIVED at this scale! Bringing down the ruling class sends the huge suppressed class at all its levels soaring up to the wealthy élite class!!! Including you!”
You can order this new publication from Mark Hamilton “Wealth, Health, Peace” by calling: 1-888-859-6859. Let’s not waste our precious time arguing and frustrating our hearts and minds. Take action today and learn about how the Twelve Visions Party is the Solution to all of our frustrations.
