Social Security is literally the easiest problem in DC to solve. All we have to do is raise the Income Cap.

Right now, we pay SS contributions on the first $185,000 in income, and nothing after that. That means anyone making less than $185K pays SS on 100% of their income, but the wealthy only pay it on their first $185K of income, and they pay NOTHING after that.

There is no reason at all that we couldn't raise the cap to $250K, $500K, $1 million, or even remove it altogether, and make them pay it on their entire revenue. That would solve the probleM, FOREVER.

That's literally all it would take. These corrupt treasonous MAGA pedophiles like Graham, and others (Mike Lee, Rick Scott, Nancy Mace, etc) would raise contributions, cut benefits, or even end SS altogether, sending millions of people into desperate poverty and homelessness, just so obscenely wealthy people don't have to pay the annual equivalent of a pack of gum, and pretend it's what's best for America.

Lindsey Graham's current thoughts on Social Security are somewhat more quiet.

Guess she won by just outliving him. GGWP

"They're literally exactly the same."

Dead men tell no tales. One grave closer to a better world.

Thinking also of when Warren Buffet said his secretary paid a higher income tax rate than he did.

At least he's dead.

I'm already not retiring as it is. There's no way I can save millions of dollars at this point. I treat my "retirement" accounts as just long term savings accounts that automatically accrue when I earn. Nothing else.

Now do AOC vs Graham on stopping the rail unions from striking.

I endorse the message but I hate the use of AI to produce political memes.

mitch mcconell took your soul.

I say we start by eliminating pensions for public service. So what you held an office, go back to work. While we're at it, public officials can have the exact same healthcare options as every other citizen.

If it's not going bankrupt how are billionaires the problem?
