Sent from my iPad Subject: Fw: Who Died Before Collecting their Government Pensioners Interesting stuff. Who died before they collected Canadian Pension Plan? (CPP) KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT... THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!! THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENTS CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE CPP IS THAT THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A CPP CHEQUE!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO? Remember, not only did you and I contribute to CPP but your employer did, too. It totalled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, thats close to $220,500. Read that again. Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny? We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retirement cheque from the money we put in, not the Government. Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employers contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working youd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, youd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until youre 95 if you retire at age 65) and thats with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, youd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. Another thing with me.... I have two deceased husbands who died in their 50s, (one was 51 and the other one was 59 before one percent of their CPP could be drawn). I worked all my life and am drawing 100% from my own CPP so I am receiving the maximum allowable payment per month. My two deceased husbands CPP money will never have one cent drawn from what they paid into the CPP plan all their lives. THE FOLKS IN OTTAWA HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID. Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my CPP! Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesnt make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!! Remember Senators benefits? --- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days. Now thats welfare, and they have the nerve to call my CPP retirement payments entitlements? They call CPP an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund. Sad isnt it? 99% of people wont have the guts to forward this. Im in the PS- Do you ever hear them talk about running out of welfare money ? ? ? strange !
