Yet, it is unavailable to too many workers in our country. During Hispanic Heritage Month, were acutely aware of the particular challenges faced by middle class Latinos in the workforce. Not only do Latinos face wage disparities, theyre also less likely to have access to retirement savings plans. Research shows that only about a third of Latino workers have access to a retirement plan through their employer, compared to more than half of African-American and white workers.<span id="more-1915"></span></p>
<p>For this reason, the Obama Administration has worked to expand access to retirement savings <a href="https://blog.ssa.gov/prepare-for-your-future-with-my-social-security-and-myra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">opportunities</a> for everyone. We <a href="https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ebsa/ebsa20160825" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recently finalized rules</a> that will help more states create retirement programs for workers who dont have access to a 401(k). Such programs are just one more way to make it easier for more workers to save for retirement.</p>
<p>Its just as important to protect those hard-earned savings, and the Department of Labor has been active on that front as well. Earlier this year, we established new rules to ensure that the guidance you receive from a financial adviser about your retirement account is always in your best interest.</p>
<p>As important as individual savings may be, almost no one can save enough for a decades-long retirement alone. This entire administration has pushed to strengthen Social Security so that it fulfills the promise made to todays retirees and workers looking forward to a financially secure retirement. Social Security is incredibly important to Americas workers and retirees, particularly Latinos, who may not have other retirement savings.</p>
<p>If you havent started saving, now is the time. Whether this is your first day on the job, or youre approaching retirement, putting something away now will mean breathing a little easier in the future. The Labor Department, our colleagues at the Social Security Administration, and our <a href="https://blog.ssa.gov/myra-u-s-treasurys-new-retirement-savings-option/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sister federal agencies</a> will keep working hard to strengthen existing programs and create new savings opportunities so that all workers can enjoy the dignified retirement they deserve.</p>

<p>I paid into SS since 1965 and am now using its benefits as a retired person combined with another retirement account. Also, the same can be said about my wife who had paid into SS since 1970. It really benefits us. One of the most important aspects of being able to retire is to not have a mortgage anymore. Since a larger percentage of Americans are retiring every year the SS program has to be adjusted so as to not run of of money in the future. The #1 way to do this is to remove the taxable income cap that causes people to stop paying into the program if you make more than $118,000 a year.</p>

<p>buna ziua domnilor oficiali,</p>
<p>ce mai faceti? Va pup si va multumesc pentru atentie.</p>
<p>Daca imi permiteti, as vrea sa va semnalez cateva mici detalii, care nu sunt chiar o problema pentru mine dar despre care cred ca ar fi bines a le inregistrati, pentru a devein o problema. Aceste detalii sunt legate de cardul meu bancar, dar si altele asemanatoare cum ar fi de exemplu chitantele de la ATM sau bonurile fiscal pe care le primesc official de la hipermarcheturi. Multumesc.</p>
<p>Le voi lua pe rand:</p>
<p>Cardul meu bancar de la garantibank (+ bonus) are numarul de card 5213 5044 0909 1751 valid pana la 04/16, si am contul cu numarul 2007091 deschis la sucursala numarul 17.<br />
Acum, daca imi permiteti, as vrea sa va dau cateva exemple din ceea ce v-am relatat mai sus, avand chitantele in fata mea. Multumesc.</p>
<p>In luna martie 2015, mi-am depus bani pe cardul bancar. Priviti:<br />
Cash deposit 26/03/2015 ora 13:40:38, 5 RON<br />
Cash withdrawal 26/03/2015 ora 13:41:22, 3 RON NU AM REUSIT SA-I SCOT tranzactie anulata<br />
Cash withdrawal 26/03/2015 ora 13:44:29, 3 RON NU AM REUSIT SA-I SCOT tranzactie anulata<br />
Cash withdrawal 26/03/2015 ora 13:47:17, 5 RON I-AM SCOS<br />
Cash deposit 26/03/2015 ora 13:55:05, 2 RON<br />
Cash withdrawal 26/03/2015 ora 13:55:29, 1 RON &#8211; NU AM REUSIT SA-I SCOT tranzactie anulata</p>
<p>In aceeasi zi am platit cu cardul la PRONTO MOBILE la ora 14:10:24, dupa cum scrie pe chitanta tranzactiei cu cardul bancar, si care este imprimata cu doua dungi vertical roz, cat se poate de clare si groase. Astea, da, se vad.<br />
In luna aprilie 2015 am platit cu cardul la megaimage din George valsan, 7 zile la rand, din 04.04.2015 pana pe 10/04/2015 inclusiv. Priviti:</p>
<p>04.04.2015 ora 19:10:40 suma de 5,39 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 496909.<br />
05.04.2015 ora 14:16:06 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 496951.<br />
06.04.2015 ora 10:35:20 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 147773.<br />
07.04.2015 ora 09:41:04 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 147807.<br />
08.04.2015 ora 11:02:15 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 407717 si este imprimata neclar, stearsa, dar, are doua dungi vertiale roz cat se poate de clare si groase.<br />
09.04.2015 ora 19:18:44 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 497102.<br />
10.04.2015 ora 16:33:50 suma de 1,19 si facture tranzactiei are numarul 407775.<br />
Dragi oficiali, sukran, va multumesc foarte mult pentru interes, si va doresc o Sarbatoare de Ramadan cat se poate de placuta impreuna cu familiile dvs. Duminica 12 aprilie 2015 merg la Moschee sa ma rog lui ALLAH impreuna cu familia mea. Insallah !!! </p>
<p>Cu toata dragostea,<br />

<p>buna ziua domnilor oficiali, ce mai faceti? un pupic.<br />
ieri 23 aprilie 2015 de sarbatoarea sfantului gheorghe, am schimbat dolarul B42896949V in 40 RON, apoi am platit cu cardul bancar la un megaimage de pe calea giulesti nr.38-40, de unde am cumparat o sticla de pepsi twist. apoi m-am plimbat.<br />
va rog sa ma scuzati dar ma grabesc, plec la ginecologie. eu, cand ma duc la ginecologie, ma duc numai la barbati. numai la barbati. sunt mult mai atenti decat o femeie.<br />
pupici.</p>

<p>astazi marti 7 iulie 2015, m-am trezit si mi-am baut ness cafe-ul.<br />
oggi martedì 7 luglio 2015, mi sono svegliato e ho bevuto ness café.</p>
<p>aseara am visat ca aveam mai multi soricei&#8230;..erau in camera mea, unii mai mari&#8230;altii mai mici&#8230;.si nu-mi dadeam seama cum de s-au inmultit asa de multi pentru ca misunau prin camera, intrau ieseau de prin bagajele sacosele care erau in camera mea, care parea putin aglomerata&#8230;cam cum este in camera lui john&#8230;unele peste altele&#8230;.<br />
ieri notte ho sognato che avevo diversi topi&#8230;. nella mia camera, c&#8217;erano alcuni vecchi&#8230; altri più piccoli&#8230; ho dato il mio account come si sono moltiplicati così tanti perché entrando attraverso la camera, ben curate donne fuori sacosele che erano attraverso bagagli nella mia camera, che sembrava un po&#8217; troppo affollata&#8230; un pò come se fosse nel salotto di Giovanni&#8230; alcuni più di altri&#8230;</p>
<p>in visul meu, eu imi cautam soricelul meu si imi spuneam: &#8220;aaa&#8230;.asta e&#8230;.&#8221;dar apoi imi dadeam seama ca nu era el&#8230;semana cu el&#8230;printre ei, era unul mare, dar nu am reusit sa-i prind ca fugeau. am prins unul mic, era puiut si nu semana cu ceilalti soricei, era mai albicios, un gri mult mai deschis, dar cu gherutele ascutite. si l-am aruncat afara pe scari, dar nu din prima, ca se tinea scai de mana mea, nici din a doua, din a treia. pe scari, era un puiut de pisica care, cred ca l-a mancat.<br />
nel mio sogno, ero in cerca di mio ed io Ma stavo dicendo: &#8220;aaa&#8230; che è&#8230;&#8221; ma poi ho capito che ho dato non era&#8230; gli assomigliano&#8230; fra loro era un grande, ma non sono riuscito a prenderlo come in fuga. Ho preso un po&#8217; uno non era pulcino e altri analoghi ai topi, era più grigio biancastro, una più aperta, ma con un forte gherutele. e l&#8217;ho buttata fuori, sulle scale, ma non il primo, come la mia mano ha tenuto Clifford né, secondo, terzo. sulle scale, era un gatto che pulcino, penso che ha mangiato lui.</p>
<p>mai era in camera mea, si nu intelegeam de unde a mai aparut si el, un puiut de porcusor de guineea&#8230;, dragalas&#8230;era alb spre rozaliu&#8230;..</p>
<p>asta am visat eu, Ileana Motoc, aseara.<br />
te pup Italia, si te iubesc ca pe nimeni alta.</p>

<p>Buna ziua Marsad, ce mai faci? Te pup pe tine si intreaga Aljazeera si iti multumesc inca o data pentru amabilitate si atentie.</p>
<p>Te rog sa arati detaliat inclusive cu imagini din interceptari ale serviciilor secrete, pe care le vei primi din toata lumea. Si spui ceva de genul: “priviti ce este capabila sa faca o ambulanta care ar trebui sa salveze oamenii din romania”, sau: “priviti ce face si cum se balbaie unii sau ce intonatie imitative are televiziunea si radioul romanesc toate cu scopul de a ameninta respective persoana private in propria lui casa ”…si asa mai departe….<br />
Faci cum consideri tu….nu ma intereseaza, important este sa-I expui, mai ales, pe cei oficiali, dar, in aceeasi masura, sip e cei neoficiali, sis a-I faci de ras in toata lumea. Iti multumesc.<br />
Daca esti amabil, si iti multumesc, as avea o singura rugaminte: sa nu vorbesti nimic despre mine nici acum si nici mai tarziu pentru ca eu sunt o persoana private si neoficiala, &#8211; si nu ma intereseaza jurnalismul si nu m-a interesat niciodata la nivel oficial (adica sa fiu vazuta sau expusa la vedere in media), si nu vreau sau nu-mi place sa fiu expusa in niciun fel la televizor sau in media. Iti multumesc.<br />
Faci cum consideri tu si Aljazeera, spuneti ce vreti voi, nu ma intereseaza, dar pe mine nu ma bagati, spuneti cum vreti, dar pe mine ma ocoliti, &#8220;EU NU EXIST&#8221;. </p>
<p>Toate emailurile mele catre aljazeera sunt private.</p>
<p>ITI MULTUMESC TIE SI AL JAZZEREI.</p>

Vous recherchez : si apoi ii interceptezi in privat, in propriile lor case private, impreuna cu copiii lor, evident, cu catel, cu purcel, si apoi, dupa ce le-ai studiat comportamentul si faci comparatie intre cum se comporta in casa lor si cum se comporta cand ma intercepteaza pe mine, si apoi, cum spuneam, cand considera Ungaria momentul potrivit, faci sau faceti publice imaginile din privatul lor. OK?<br />
