Dear Friend,
Americans want help and leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. So far we’ve seen billions for the wealthiest Americans and $1200 for the rest of us.
Rather than proposing solutions to help working families, President Trump is refusing to provide any more assistance to families and states -- UNLESS Congress cuts Social Security’s funding.
Last night on Fox News President Trump sat in front of the Lincoln Memorial and flat out said: “We’re not doing anything without a payroll tax cut.” Ummm, payroll taxes are how we fund Social Security!
Eliminating the main source of Social Security funding is as dumb as it is cruel.
Social Security puts more than $800 billion into the economy each year. Killing its funding in the middle of an economic downtown is exactly the opposite of what we need to do.
This really is urgent. We’ve got to stop this callous and shortsighted idea in its tracks and then hold anyone who supported this scheme accountable.
Thank you for all you do.
