How long until you see increased taxes to recoup the loss in SS contributions if they were to do this, just to add insult to injury. Please stop the defeatist language, be loud and clear this is off limits. Even speaking like this is a possibility gives it legitimacy.
Social security is a social contract. We support our grandparents and in turn our grandchildren support us. Ending social security is generational theft.
Imagine paying for something your entire working life, from teenage years till you retire and then being denied the insurance policy you paid on because the republicans decided you shouldn't have it and they should. 🤯 They have no right to it! It's your income!
The billionaires are going to steal everything not nailed down, as they've done for decades. They get away with it because the US public has been lazy and apathetic. But how much more are we going to take? If they steal people's lifelong SS contributions, our culture war will turn into a class war.
Be careful. Don't equate the taxes with the benefits. SS has an intergenerational component. We earned our benefits, it is true, but by paying for the benefits of our predecessors.
I just watched an Sanford and son where Grady was stating how for every dollar he originally put into social security he is only getting .25 cents back. Some things never change.
I’m a follower who values all your advocacy for social security. Please do some research on how much money in benefits was saved due to over 800k deaths from covid from people over 65 alone. No doubt in the billions of $. Keep up the fight! Hugs to Angelica

Ronald Regan did not care that we paid for our SS benefits in advance when he passed GOP/WEP. The gov stole $millions when he cut our benefits. Some “R’s” are claiming that the SS fairness act is destroying SS. It is our money that was taken from us. Millions of US.
GOP:WEP is a broken contract with SS payers/workers. I paid into SS thinking that my government would honor that contract. Regan and his party of bandits broke that contract and moved it to the rich in a trickle down concept that became a tinkle on process.
They call them entitlements because you are legally entitled to them.
Entitlement is a value-neutral term. Reagan started poisoning the term because he wanted to get rid of government entitlements so the rich could have tax cuts, but they were popular with the non-rich.
Reminder:
Social Security is not a pension fund.
Social Security is not a retirement fund.
Social Security is not a personal savings account.
It is self-funding each year.
You pay in based on income below $150K.
You pay to help people today, not yourself in the future.

Don't let our language be stolen
In the US there is a law that grants us title to these benefits

VA Disability compensation is an EARNED benefit from military service to the country...not a means-tested charity.
