John,
Republicans want to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age. Here’s what Bernie had to say about that:
There’s a very clear way to preserve AND expand Social Security. Reject GOP cuts, tax billionaires so they pay their fair share of Social Security taxes, and pass Bernie’s bill to expand Social Security benefits.
Stand with Bernie: Congress must pass Bernie’s Social Security Expansion bill now!
This is how nonsensical our current tax system is — and how much it favors millionaires and billionaires. Right now, if someone makes $10 million per year and another person makes $160,000 per year, they both contribute the same amount of money to Social Security. Why? Because of a ridiculous cap on Social Security taxes. In other words, a loophole for the rich.
Bernie’s Social Security Expansion bill would get rid of this tax loophole for the rich, raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy AND increase Social Security benefits. It’s a clear win for economic justice and working-class people.
Republicans have been trying to cut Social Security for decades. Meanwhile, Bernie’s been fighting to protect Social Security for decades, since he was elected to Congress in 1990. We won’t stop fighting for the social safety net that we all should have in the richest country in the world.
Sign on to Bernie’s Social Security expansion bill now!
When we organize, we win.
