The White House has put up a petition site. We need to see how seriously they are going to take it by demanding that they protect and strengthen Social Security and other past progressive achievements rather than dismantling them at the behest of Wall St. This petition has already passed the threshold of 500 signatures to make this searchable on the White House website; 5,000 to get them to respond to it.
Here's my support Sanders on Social Security one:
Unlike most government programs, Social Security has its own dedicated tax and is solvent until 2036.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, in S. 1558, has proposed gradually removing the cap on income subject to the Social Security tax, which would make it solvent for 75 years, and able to pay full benefits.
Removing the cap would also make this a flat rather than regressive tax.
Support this bill and refuse to support any "reform" such as privatizing, means testing, or raising the eligibility age that would weaken it for those who need it most in the working and middle class.
Sen. Sanders reform would strengthen the program whereas anything proposed by Wall St. would would take the "security."
Washington has done enough for Wall St. It's time to protect average Americans from them.
