Itâs OURSâweâve paid into it
with our hard earned money.
Paul Krugman is right: there is nothing âinevitableâ about Social Security cuts. The crisis is political, not mathematical. Corrupt Republicans took new revenue off the table so they can force benefit cuts onto workers. Donât swallow the gaslighting. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

(9,302 posts)So they're making this BS case that it's gonna run out of money, and that's just a ploy to serve their ends.
In actuality, the rich have been draining this nation of wealth for their own purposes, at our expense for quite some time now.
So now we should start tapping that great reservoir of riches they've built up to fulfill the national purpose of serving the people.
We were founded to be a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people, not just a nation of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.

Income inequality is draining it.
Once someone makes more than 2,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security.
