Tell Congress:
"When millionaires pay their fair share into Social Security, we can afford to expand our earned benefits and extend the lifespan of the Trust Fund. It’s time for Congress to #ScrapTheCap on our Social Security benefits!"

John,
Today is the day that millionaires stop paying into Social Security for all of 2020.
How can that be? People are only required to pay into Social Security on their first $137,700 of income. And while 94% of U.S. workers pay into Social Security year-round, millionaires hit that mark today.
You and I know that when millionaires and billionaires start paying into Social Security on all of their income―just like the rest of us―we can expand benefits for millions of Americans and extend the lifespan of the Social Security Trust Fund.
Today, Social Security Works is partnering with allies across the country to demand Congress #ScrapTheCap on our Social Security benefits and make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share.
SIGN NOW: Tell Congress to #ScrapTheCap on Social Security contributions and expand Social Security for current and future generations.
At a time when 10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day, we need to address the retirement security crisis by expanding our earned benefits―and pay for it by making the wealthiest Americans contribute at the same rate as the rest of us.
The media repeats the false claim that the only solution to Social Security's long-term financing is to cut the vital benefits people rely on. But there's a much better solution that will allow us to expand Social Security AND reduce wealth inequality.
Join Social Security Works in calling on Congress to #ScrapTheCap and make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security!
Thank you,
Michael Phelan
