Good thing we’re spending 2 billion a day in a war with Iran.

Okay but what about if we taxed the rich?

Although I didn’t finish high school, I have watched several YouTube videos, and I have the solution. Lower the SS tax on millionaires, and the benefits will trickle down. You’re welcome.

In 2032, I will have paid into the fund for 34 continuous years of professional working life.
I don’t expect to retire until maybe 2040, but when I do, I expect to get zero out of my 42 years of Social Security payments.
The biggest fucking racket ever and Republicans are 100% to blame.

Sabotaged by the Republicans.

When social security is finally done away with, I guarantee that two thing will happen.
1. The payroll tax deduction will remain to help ‘balance the budget,’ and
2. The rich will get another round of tax cuts.

I retired at 62, have a small 401K, and I’m surviving on it pretty well, my wife has insurance, and won’t retire for at least 5 more years, if it wasn’t for her having the health coverage, we would be screwed, I’m hoping to sell my home in a few years and using that to supplement our earnings, but, it’s gonna be pretty tough to get by in this economy, thanks tRump.

People, when they say the US is in debt it is because they treated social security like a piggy bank.

You will be asked to give up another five years of your retirement so the rich don’t have to pay 2% more in taxes.

It’s because the rich are bleeding us dry. Kinda to be expected with the fox in the henhouse.

Okay. Does that mean I don’t have to have it deducted anymore from our paychecks since I won’t be getting Social Security?

Thanks for nothing

Just eliminate the SS withholding ceiling. All would be resolved and increased benefits would be possible

Can we make the AI pay into the fund after it takes our jobs?

Social security was fully funded; but the funds were replaced with IOUs and the government doesn’t want to pay you back.

This is propaganda to get people to start thinking we need a “fix.”
The fix will be another screwing to help pay for the billionaire tax cuts.

Par for the course when a Republican is in charge.

So lift the fucking cap, Jesus Christ.
This is an artificial crisis. It’s completely unnecessary. And yet as per usual we’re going to screw over the vast majority of Americans in favor of the rich.

As long as Republicans control anything Americans will starve, or die on some distant battlefield.

Republicans want us to work until we die.

Well the “war on terror” cost 8 trillion and replaced the taliban with the taliban. Clearly worth not being able to retire.

Didn’t I just read that america is spending about a billion dollars a day of taxpayers’ money to carpet bomb Tehran? Hmmm

They could just tax billionaires to fund it….
Nah who am I kidding, they’ll just raise the age of retirement and keep us all working to our graves.

Remove the cap, evenly apply it to capital gains, and to make up for not having done this years ago, increase the tax. An extra 1% for each 185k made from any source. Max percentage of 50%, and anyone making that much can tell themselves they won at life.

I’m a physician and we experience classic republican math among our ranks
– Republican MD: votes for Trump hoping for minimal income tax cuts, approximately 20k per year
– Republicans: run the country into the ground, torch SS, cost Republican MD 1.5 million in missed lifetime social security payouts
– Republican MD: *shocked pikachu face*
