My hardtop has been hanging from the ceiling in my garage for a few years
now, all lonely.  I have been considering selling mine too.  Montana is a
lot colder than NJ, but I never feel cold in my Jeep once it warms up in a
mile or so.
Tomes in NJ

one thing about the TJ is the _awesome_ heater.  even with just the soft top
and soft doors (as bad as they leak) i had _no_ trouble in february which is
downright frigid at times.  as much as i enjoy my jeep i cant make money out
of it (need a truck for that) so my jeep really is nothing more than an
expensive toy to play with and will rarely be driven anyway.  for now the
new condition hardtop is nothing more than a shady spot for the dogs to lay
under.  id much rather see it put to use by somebody.  :-)

Social Security (UNCLASSIFIED)

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't
know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and
show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what .and
it
doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are Facts!!!

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA)
Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400
of their annual Incomes into the Program

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would
be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund'
rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be
used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.


Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a
Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting
taxed
on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you
may be interested in the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust
Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress cou ld spe nd it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and
Senate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social
Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Par t y, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking'
deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the
US

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to
immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

That's right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive
Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even
though they never paid a dime into it!

-------------- -------------------------- ------------------------------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn
around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security
away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted
and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of
what isn't so.

But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT AND FULL MEDICAL FOR ONLY
SERVING ONE TERM!!!

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough
to take everything you have.
