The right wing loves to try and push for privatization of Social Security so their rich 1%er friends can make a buck off a massively successful and needed program. You want to make sure Social Security is solvent forever?
It is easy and can be done with one small change in the tax laws.
REMOVE THE CAP!
Why is there a cap on which earnings get taxed for Social Security? Because the rich don’t “get the utility” of SSI because they are less likely to need it?
What a crock. Is that how taxes really work?
I pay into funds that pay for the military and can make a huge argument that not only do my poor and middle class brothers and sisters actually serve in it – but that the rich by far get the most utility out of the security the military provides. Based on this the rich should pay a much large % of their income in the form of federal taxes.
How about highways and roads. I drive less than 10 miles to work. How much of my money has gone to federal infrastructure projects and bridges? Do I move millions of lbs of goods over those roads?
Keep your hands off social security and remove the cap. Call your state representatives. We can still save this great nation of ours.
