As you know, President Trump made good on his threat for a payroll tax cut by issuing an executive order that would allow Social Security to be starved of much-needed revenue — incredibly, at a time when this critical program should be strengthened, not cut. What’s worse, he made this ominous promise: "If I win, I may extend and terminate." So we can bank on further attacks on Social Security if President Trump wins reelection.
In a recent poll the National Committee conducted online, 91% of respondents indicated they do NOT believe President Trump has the authority to order the Internal Revenue Service to stop collecting payroll taxes which fund Social Security and Medicare. That’s because National Committee supporters like you understand that any cut to or deferment of the payroll tax would devastate the future of Social Security and Medicare — and undermine the earned right nature of these programs.
With so much hanging in the balance for beneficiaries, will you support our full-scale battle in Congress to pass the “Save Our Social Security Now Act” (H.R. 8171) that nullifies the President’s dangerous executive order and protects Social Security by making one urgent donation of $10 or $5 today?
Bottom-line — a payroll tax cut provides zero relief for millions of unemployed Americans. But it is a first step toward dismantling Social Security. And it opens the door for opponents of our nation’s social insurance safety net to call for devastating cuts and even privatization.
As you know, President Trump pledged not to touch Social Security; yet, he’s broken that pledge multiple times since taking office. And it puts Americans on notice that his real intention is to put older Americans’ Social Security benefits on the chopping block, essentially trading the nation’s finest safety net programs for votes.
So please consider making one important gift today to help the National Committee wage this all-out fight to stop the President’s payroll tax executive order dead in its tracks! During this uncertain time for our country, we’re counting on your support to help us protect and strengthen Social Security for millions of beneficiaries now and in the future!
We don’t take any money from the government, so every dollar will help our efforts to protect and strengthen your earned benefits!
