There’s no shortage of smart ideas for expanding and strengthening our Social Security system. Senator Bernie Sanders proposed raising the cap on earnings that are subject to the Social Security payroll tax, which would force the wealthy to pay their fair share into the trust fund.
Other proposals are being considered to modify the formula used to make cost-of-living adjustments to more accurately reflect inflation on products and services seniors buy, and to expand benefits across-the-board.
But Congressional Republicans want to go in the opposite direction–forcing unnecessary benefit cuts that would be devastating for millions of retired Americans, military veterans and Americans living with disabilities.
Join CREDO and Daily Kos in sending a strong message to members of Congress in both parties: Social Security should be expanded, not cut.
Keep fighting,
