I have so much respect for this man; more of our politicians need to be up in arms like this over what’s being done to us.

One of the best speeches by a congressman you will ever hear! Rep. John B. Larson (D-CT) called out his Republican colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee before they voted to block his Resolution of Inquiry into the Trump-Musk plan to gut Social Security. https://youtu.be/0MJDxvPL-EI?feature=shared Don’t miss this!

Expand Social Security by Taxing the Rich!

1,122 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

If nothing is done to strengthen Social Security’s finances, starting in 2034, Social Security will only be able to pay roughly 80% of benefits owed. Thankfully, there’s a fiscally responsible easy solution to this future shortfall that doesn’t impoverish seniors or their families: Make the wealthy pay their fair share! Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced the Social Security Expansion Act of 2023, which would increase benefits by $2,400, extend the lifespan of the Trust Fund by 75 years and do much more to solidify this bedrock of working-class prosperity. And, it’s completely paid for by scrapping the payroll tax cap on incomes over $250,000―meaning that millionaires and billionaires would finally start paying more of their fair share. In the House, Rep. John Larson has previously introduced the Social Security 2100 Act: A Sacred Trust, which would affect just the top 0.4% of wage earners. It would fulfill the promise of our Social Security system by improving benefits for millions of seniors living in poverty and extending the lifespan of the Trust Fund―once again, paid for by making the wealthy pay more of their fair share. Instead of Republican proposals to raise the retirement age or directly cut benefits, Congress needs to scrap the Social Security payroll tax cap on the wealthy. That means that while working people won’t pay a dime more in Social Security contributions, millionaires and billionaires will finally be paying their fair share all year long. Good!

  CNN (USA News): Americans with wages exceeding $1 million will stop paying into Social Security for the year. That’s because anyone earning at least that much hits the Social Security payroll tax cap of $128,400 today, barely seven weeks into 2018.

The average American worker contributes Social Security payroll taxes throughout the year. This red letter day takes on added significance because…

John Lewis leads sit-in on House floor over guns

Washington (CNN)John Lewis revived Wednesday one of the most evocative forms of protest from the civil rights movement — the sit-in — to demand House Republicans move on gun control. In a move rich with historic symbolism, the civil rights icon and Democrat congressman from Georgia led a dramatic protest inside the House of Representatives. He and fellow Democrats sat down at the front of the…
