A new story from Usa t*day touts the inequities of Social Security and attempts to create dissension between senior subgroups.Here is one of those statements from the story....as usual look at the statistical bent of their numbers (lies): "Single heads of households, usually women, often receive less in benefits than non-working spouses get.
For example, a single mother who earns about $20,000 a year for 40 years will get lifetime benefits of about $95,000; a non-working spouse married to someone who makes $100,000 a year will get about $250,000." while I don't doubt (although I should Doubt Everything they print)the veracity of benefit numbers I doubt the Comparison! why not use same salary numbers for the both? perhaps because her benefits would be the same?
Another quote:
"The anti-working-woman effect. Two-earner households often receive less than those with a single worker. For example, a husband and wife who each earn $15,000 a year will get lifetime benefits of about $177,000. But a couple with one spouse earning $30,000 will get about $273,000 because of the spousal benefit. again why not use the same numbers?...Boy are they trying to revive this Horse.....Remember We must not let up,point out their lies and their continued attempt to destroy social security to anyone who will listen,if we preempt their motives, maybe people will "see" as they try this B.S.
