Social Security’s problem isn’t that benefits are too high―ask any senior!

The problem is that billionaires want to steal the money and line their own pockets with it.

The issue is that they didn’t put any money into it! Only our employers and us put money into that account!

Thank you for not saying that they borrowed the money. When you borrow money, you generally have to pay it back with interest. The terms are I’ll never pay you back never paying back money. You supposedly borrowed it called stealing. That means you’re a thief.

true, true

And TAX churches! Can you imagine if the mega churches paid their fair share?

fairyreina.bsky.social•162 days ago

Exactly 💯
Since Regan, the Government has taken our Social Security & never paid us back 😒

pharmasus.bsky.social•162 days ago

Why do they always have a plan to steal from the poor, needy and disabled?

mudbugblues.bsky.social•162 days ago

Because these are the most vulnerable, and have no $ to pay for a voice😠 Pisses me off.

Exactly. Raise the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share!

If nothing changes, the fund will be bankrupt within 10 years. Stop blaming billionaires wanting to "steal" the funds. It simply isn't sustainable under the current law, which has been in place for years.

They need to change it to protect it but mark my word billionaires want to either privatize it so they profit off it or destroy it altogether. Republicans have always been against it since the
beginning.

donscola.bsky.social•162 days ago

Republicans have not "always been against [Social Security' since the beginning." The Social Security Act was enacted with broad partisan support.

pamkling.bsky.social•162 days ago

lol - there weren’t that many Republicans in Congress at the time (for good reason) but yes, 77 voted for it after fighting it tooth and nail compared to 287 Democrats, who passed it. Since then Republicans have been trying to destroy it.

Republicans have not.

The “Hood Old Boy” network has. They used to vote primarily democrat.

pamkling.bsky.social•152 days ago

Republicans have always opposed it.

Because what they have isn't enough

belladonna406.bsky.social•162 days ago

They have been known to "borrow" from it but never pay it back.
The money doesn't belong to the federal gov.
Just like the Postal Service pensions don't either.

The challenge is that those who are comfortable are harder to exploit.

If Grandma has a roof over her head and food on the table why would I take a second job at pitiful wages to support her?

Ask any senior OR disabled person on Social Security Disability, of any age.
