Workers who earn a paycheck pay a much higher percentage of their income than the 1%ers. Bruce Bradley is dedicated to fixing that unfairness. Joni Ernst as every republican is guaranteed to do the opposite, by advocating to lower taxes on the 1%ers.
Ernst is also on board with handing over Social Security to Wall Street Gamblers. Bruce Braley will fight against this corporate hand-out
“I will never vote to privatize Social Security, which Sen. Ernst has said she would,” Braley said. “It’s not good for Iowans to turn their hard-earned dollars over to Wall Street investment firms” which, he said, lost $1.2 trillion in one day in September 2008.
Braley’s plan for Social Security is to eliminate the cap on Social Security payroll taxes. Now, workers pay on the first $117,000 they earn.
“I think millionaires should be paying the same portion of their earned income into Social Security as hardworking Iowans,” Braley said. “That would strengthen it for years to come. It would also actually increase the benefits that seniors are getting.”
Here is some fact checking confirming that Joni Ernst does indeed plan to privatize Social Security, handing your earned benefits over the Wall Street gamblers:
Over the fold is Ernst in a debate with Bruce Braley. Ernst is rejecting minimum wage, parroting dishonest Corporate think tank talking points and trying to deny her agenda of privatizing Social Security, handing control of your Social Security to Wall Street and High Financial, that workers bailed out the last time they gambled it away in the 2008 Wall Street Crash.
Ernst repeats the lie that Social Security is going bankrupt as the excuse to hand it over to Wall Street.
