Washington Post on Donald Trump:

"Each of his White House budget proposals included cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs."

SIGN THE PETITION: "The public OPPOSES Republican cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age. Tax billionaires and the ultra-wealthy, and increase benefits for our seniors."

Haley, Christie open to raising Social Security retirement age.

In this week’s Republican presidential debate, 2 candidates (Nikki Haley and Chris Christie) said out loud something Donald Trump has tried to keep under wraps: Republicans want to cut Social Security benefits.

The Washington Post recently reported that every budget Trump proposed "included cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs."

Chris Christie really let the cat out of the bag, saying "there are only three things" that could possibly be done with Social Security: raise the retirement age, cut some people out of the program, or raise taxes.

80% of the public supports raising taxes on billionaires and the ultra-wealthy and applying some of that money to Social Security -- especially since billionaire Elon Musk only pays Social Security taxes on his first $160,000 of his income. In fact, most Democrats in Congress support some version of increasing benefits for our seniors -- something that's also 80% popular with voters.

But Christie said the Republican position out loud: "We should not raise those taxes."

Polling shows voters are not aware that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Are you up for working with us to make this a top issue in 2024?

SIGN OUR PETITION WITH SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS: "The public OPPOSES Republican cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age. Tax billionaires and the ultra-wealthy, and increase benefits for our seniors."

Many proposals from the White House and Congress support taxing billionaires, the ultra-wealthy, and corporations that use loopholes to avoid paying their fair share.

Together, they would raise trillions of dollars -- enough to put money into existing Social Security benefits AND expand them for our grandparents and parents. One leading proposal would increase benefits for all seniors by $200 per month, which would raise quality of life for millions.

Republicans in Congress are pushing a "debt commission" with the real goal of cutting Social Security. Like Chris Christie, they say nothing should be done to tax the wealthy -- just cut grandma’s benefits and call it a day.

But with all the craziness in the news, polling shows the public is not yet aware. We need to identify people like you across the nation who believe that we must make this a top issue in 2024.

If you agree, SIGN OUR PETITION WITH SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS: "The public OPPOSES Republican cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age. Tax billionaires and the ultra-wealthy, and increase benefits for our seniors."

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
