The elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Musk and Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

The Republican’s answer to every financial problem since 1980 has been to let the extremely wealthy share less of the burden. How’s that working out for you, rural and working class, ‘cause it’s working great for them!
If millionaires and billionaires paid 10% in tax and no more, nobody else would have to themselves pay 10% in tax. Eg, Musk wealth increased by $150billion, so he has to pay $15billion.
You’re absolutely correct!!
My tiny check of 971$ increased by 18$ per month this year. At 3+ dollars per gallon it’ll take 6 months to have enough extra gas dollars to drive to Canada 😂
Wondering how long I can stay there on an extended “visitor” pass?
When I hear it called entitlements I get f****** furious. They have been paying into that their whole lives and the generation before them and the generation after them. It is the American security blanket that we offer each other freely. We TAKE CARE OF US .
Old people are a needless expense on society. The elderly are inefficient.
No flu shots, no information on public health threats, living without the guardrails that keep us safe, the elderly receiving SS & Medicare will die in massive numbers.
Yea many of his supporters are sadly in store for a world of challenges, that had they cast their vote differently, the outcome would have been quite different.
The evil combinations don’t care Americans life, the first DOGE needs to do should fire Trump’s cabinets as all of the people he hired are ignorants they are taking taxpayers money.
OUR OWN MONEY (not govt handout!!) that we have contributed into social security each paycheck. If they take that away, that's considered THEFT and they need to be sued.
$800 isn’t going to come close to covering that for most peoples expenses, yet this self appointed billionaires, feel entitled to take it away.. it’s just calculated cruelty.
The SocSec benefit am't is based on wages earned over an entire lifetime of work & paying FICA taxes. The $800 you post is on the low end reflecting low wages as the current AVERAGE benefit amount is close to $2k/month & depends entirely on earnings am't & the age a person selects to begin.
Social Security should have been held in an escrow account so irresponsible government officials couldn't tamper with the money that WE WERE FORCED TO PAY into the system.
Yes, and leaving us at the tender mercies of Russia and China, with the firing of FBI agents and CIA agents, not to mention the 50 billion dollar cut in military spending. This isn't incompetence. They know what they're doing. They are turning us over, in my opinion.
One day soon Trump, Musk and the wealth-bros will suffer an epiphany when normal Americans (you know - the peasants) finally decide the final line has been crossed and we won't put with any more.
Even if we took every wealthy persons money, it would solve the issues with social security. And it won’t make it any easier now, that we have a declining population. Yes, they should pay more, but it’s disingenuous to claim this is the reason social security is going solvent.
Is Elon ready to refund the money every worker has been paying into Social Security for their whole working life? It would be a staggering sum even for him

no one can live on 800.00 a month - especially a senior who probably needs additional assistance as they age -
income inequality has created a divide as wages never kept up with the cost of living !!!

How many years it would take to spend $400,000,000,000 at a rate of $1,000,000 per day:
It would take approximately 1,096 years to spend the entire $400 billion at a rate of $1 million per day.
$5-10k per month is enough for an excellent life!
How is that not a fair solution? 🤷♂️
$50 TRILLION that would have:
-gone back into the economy
-been taxed at normal rates
-been more money in Social Security & Medicare

You work your whole life for an amount you can’t live on & now a South African immigrant wants to take that away from you. Is that fair?
Musk makes $8 million a day in profits from US taxpayers.
"We’re deep in the red, what to do?!"
"Fire everyone and sell the factory!"
"What about raising prices?"
