When the agriculture minister takes over the asks from the #Bauernverband aka farm lobby... #lobbying #scrapthecap (source: politico)

-> Ex-Labour leader, Neil Kinnock (agrees with with Reform UK): End the cruel two-child benefit limit & lift 600k kids from poverty!

Nö ist klar! #ScrapTheCAP #EUBudget
#Agri lobby again blackmailing politicians, as if taxpayers money was God given to them. And at the same time they got simplification re less conditionality to care about nature/climate when receiving 1/3 of the #EUBudget, big parts as flatrate subsidies! #ScrapTheCAP (seen in @politico Europe)
🚜Basically everyone (including farm lobby in the Strohschneider dialogues) telling to end CAP's directpayments. But politics: let's do the opposite & burn money in a non-efficient, non-fair and non-sustainable way 🤑! #EUGreenDeal #ScrapTheCAP

A secondary "benefit" (for these ghouls) is to hasten the demise of the Social Security Trust Fund. The primary reason that these people have Social Security numbers is so that they can work. When they work, they pay Social Security taxes. These payments help bolster the Social Security system to the tune of $26 billion each year, even though these individuals cannot claim benefits unless their immigration status changes.

Hastening the demise of the Social Security Trust Fund bolsters the argument that the program should be turned over to the private sector. Heaven forbid we instead #ScraptheCap, (https://www.ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow/millionaires-are-done-paying-into-social-security-for-2025/) making everyone pay their fair share.

"Millionaires stop paying into Social Security for the year this week [1st week of March]— and billionaires already stopped contributing wages to the program in January.  The rest of us continue paying into the system for the entire year."

Millionaires Are Done Paying Into Social Security for 2025 - NCPSSM

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security for the year on March 1st --- and billionaires already stopped contributing wages to the program in January.  The rest of us continue paying into the system for the entire year.  Is it fair that Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch, and Tim Cook of Apple don’t have to contribute to Social Security for the rest of the year while most Americans do?

@cdarwin There's another important aspect to this. Sanders is 100% right about the spending cap, but the wealthiest among us generally do not make their wealth from wages. Only wages are taxed for the purpose of Social Security.
We also need to look at increasing capital gains taxes, currently at the lowest rates in modern times.
