John,
Axios just released a new poll of Trump voters,1 and Republicans won’t like what they found:
63% said it's more important to keep Social Security benefits at current levels even if it means raising payroll taxes, but 37% favored keeping a lid on payroll taxes even if it means cutting benefits for future retirees.
This is the opposite of the approach that Republicans have taken over decades: where Social Security’s dedicated funding can never increase, even in the face of a retirement income crisis. But voters aren’t fooled. That’s exactly why Republican politicians line up for schemes like Mitt Romney’s TRUST Act, which would allow Congress to cut Social Security behind closed doors without accountability.
Social Security Works is fighting back―we’re making sure that every member of Congress who voted for Mitt’s anti-Social Security resolution hears about it from their constituents. Can you chip in $7 today to save Social Security from Republican politicians?
Here’s the truth: There may not be unity among politicians, but when you ask voters, a strong consensus emerges. That’s why Republican politicians cling to gerrymandering, the electoral college, the filibuster, and packed courts to enact their odious agenda. Our Social Security system unites America―that’s why Republican politicians are dead set on dismantling it.
Social Security Works is going to make sure we EXPAND Social Security, never cut it. That’s an agenda even Trump voters can get behind. Chip in $7 today.
Thanks,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works
