DeanObeidallahMike Pence said on Fox News this week that he wants to END Social Security and then Republicans will come up with a better program. So Pence wants seniors to have faith that Marjorie Taylor Greene, George Santos and Matt Gaetz will draft a better program than Social Security.
LindaNYC2VT Ⓥ 🌊🐖🐄🐓🦃🐬🐝🦋🦇@DeanObeidallah @sherrig312 Meanwhle the solution to funding Social Security in perpetuity is to lift the SSDI taxable income cap. The current capping system means the least rich of us pay the highest percentage of our wages into Social Security. It’s madness. What is it about our political system that so fears taxing the ultra-rich? (🤨politicians are bought by them).
Matt@LindaVT @DeanObeidallah @sherrig312 right. It’s $160k for 2023. It should be at least double that, or uncapped entirely like the Medicare rate.
