Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org

It’s simple–when we make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share, we can expand Social Security and protect earned benefits for generations to come.

There is absolutely no reason why rich people should not pay taxes. They'd all have heart attacks if we went to a flat tax system.

Why is it that the ultra-wealthy have tax free yachts and tax free personal jets.... But a worker doesn't have a tax free car - to get them to work? ---

or even the modestly well off. IF you make a couple hundy you get a neat little year end bonus If we asked all the people who are now capped to give as they do the rest of the year, the fund becomes solvent for a decade or 2 more

The reason is that there's a cap on the payout. But what a great way to fund SSN for years to come instead of giving 10% of workers a year end bonus

Bottom line: The wealthy have increaingly soaked up almost ALL of the productivity increases, esp since 1980. It’s up to the people and our leaders to take it back!!

Why not just raise the Minimum Wage to a Livable Wage of $25/Hr and think of all the increased "Revenue" for SS/MC/MC. I mean you can tax the Rich Folks, but that isn't going to really help the Working Class like a Living Wage and M4A would. #SocialSecurity

I'm sure Peter THeil & Curtis Yarvin will think of that when they make Social Security a for-profit business that benefits ONLY the shareholders (who aren't the contributors).

If Trump's birthday parade happens, it would cost $92 million. I don't care if you say it's for his birthday or to celebrate the military, either way, it would be a *parade* for almost 100,000,000 dollars. If that happens, I NEVER want to hear a single Republican complain about where taxes go again

let's just lose the income cap. Folks that earn $1.7 million should pay same percentage as folks earning $170,000. There must be NO cap. How does the cap make any sense?
