Jesse Lee wrote about saving #SocialSecurity: "There is no reason to be entertaining benefit cuts, or outsourcing Social Security to commissions that may split the baby, when the public is like 99 to 1 against benefit cuts. Just lift the cap, and capture income sources outside of wages." #politics

✊ People paid in. People earned it. People deserve it. Tell Congress to scrap the cap and keep Social Security strong.

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us
Dear Sen/ Rep -
In 6 years, Social Security is projected to be insolvent, and some 70 million Social Security recipients will see their benefits cut automatically by 22%. For the average senior, that would mean about $500 less each month.
AARP says 43% of older households rely on Social Security for more than half of their income.
So you have a choice to make -- let seniors go hungry or end a tax break for make the wealthiest 7% of Americans.
I want you to lift the Social Security Income Cap. Every cent that a person earns should be subjected to Social Security withholding. The 7% of Americans who make more than $176,100 a year can afford to pay more to keep Social Security solvent for decades to come.
When members of this Republican Administration say that "raising taxes on the wealthy will stifle innovation," please remind them that you are not "raising taxes" on anyone. You are making sure that everyone pays the same tax rate.
Teachers have their full salary taxed at the same rate as firefighters, grocery store clerks, lawyers, doctors, and airline pilots. It is only the wealthiest 7% of Americans who get a tax break by not having their full salary taxed who will see any change.
It is an election year.
Why should the rich pay a lessor tax rate? Why should our elders go hungry?

🚑 Social Security can be the difference between stability and crisis. Congress must strengthen it by making the wealthy contribute on all earnings.

🚨 Social Security is not a handout. It is our money, earned through years of work. Tell Congress to scrap the cap and stop protecting wealthy loopholes.

💰 Working people contribute to Social Security from every paycheck while millionaires get a cap on what they owe. Scrap the cap and protect the benefits we earned.

⬆️ @steter
>> [ #UnitedStates ] is dead. When the #SocialSecurity checks stop flowing, the political scum will face millions of angry seniors with nothing to lose, #Republicans, #Democrats, and #independents.
I would limit Democrats to #EstablishmentDemocrats, but when things get ugly, who's paying attention to nuances?
This and food inflation in particular, along with #Trump's corruption and #venal offices, is setting up to be a rerun of the #BreadRiots that sparked the #FrenchRevolution.

Fuck my life. My country's social security system is the pits. I got survivors benefits because my abusive mother died. I didn't know social security counts that as extra income. I was getting the maximum amount on SSI. I was approved for survivors benefits but then they lowered my SSI payments because I'd have extra income. I know people don't like it when disabled people get things for free, but I wasn't going out and buying cars with it. Fuck.
> Your new amount will be $125 unless you appeal.
Firstly, that number is way disproportionate to what I was getting before. The fuck? That's a 95% reduction rate! I hate this system. You bet your ass I'll appeal. I'm lawyering up. Why is it okay for a billionaire to hoard multiple houses but I can't hoard an extra, say, $100 monthly? Explain why billionaires are applauded for stashing cash and poor people like me are spat on because we maybe want to stay at home and write Fan fiction. Oh, is it because I'm not working in your myopic view of work? You don't have a clue what living with a disability is like.
News flash. Billionaires don't work either. Billionaires exploit others labor.

@ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB @junesim63 But there ISN'T a "lack of money" - that is a #myth. The idea that the #cost of #socialsecurity is "spiralling out of control" is a #lie. One expects it from the #Tories, but to get the same thing from #Labour is absolutely disgraceful.
