Social Security isn’t going to run dry by accident. Income inequality is draining it. Once someone makes more than $182,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

How do we fix Social Security? If we lifted the payroll tax cap to ensure everyone pays their fair share, Social Security would be solvent for decades. Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire, but he pays the same into social security that a teacher does. Pay your fair share.

One person makes $16 million a year. Another person makes $160,000 a year. Both of those people put the exact same amount of money into Social Security. That is absurd. We must scrap the cap and demand that the wealthy pay their fair share to extend Social Security benefits.

Right now, someone making $1 billion a year pays the exact same amount into Social Security as someone making $170,000. We can fix this & make sure billionaires pay their fair share—but Republicans are standing in the way.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shouldn't be paying the same amount in Social Security tax as someone making $175,000 a year. Billionaires are not paying their fair share.

Fifteen minutes into January 1st of every year, Elon Musk stops paying into Social Security!. Everyday workers pay an astronomically higher rate than millionaires and billionaires. That’s the real abuse of the Social Security Administration — not the seniors getting $65 a day.

Last night, President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act, the biggest expansion of Social Security in decades and a huge win for teachers, firefighters, and cops! Next, we expand benefits for everyone and pay for it by making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

Republicans in Congress are pushing for another round of tax breaks for the wealthy and disastrous cuts to hard-working Americans' Social Security benefits. Democrats are fighting to enhance benefits and strengthen Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share!

If you make ~$160,000 a year, you're paying the same amount into Social Security each year as a billionaire. In fact, billionaires put just half a cent of every $100,000 they make into Social Security. This system is unfair—it should not be controversial to try and fix it.

🚨 WOW. Billionaires like Elon Musk pay little to nothing into Social Security each year. Republicans want to add over $4 trillion to the debt so the ultra-wealthy can get even more tax cuts. How about we enhance Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share?

Billionaires stop paying into Social Security on January 1st, and they'll do anything to keep it that way. Everyone else contributes with every paycheck. These are benefits that you earned through a lifetime of work. It's about time for the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share!

For 90 years, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American. Now Trump is working overtime to dismantle it. We won’t let them privatize Social Security. Instead, we must expand benefits and its solvency by making the wealthy pay their fair share.

Social Security is the most successful anti-poverty program in our history. As seniors struggle with rising costs, protecting Social Security isn't enough. We need to enhance benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share—not let Trump and his cronies chip away at it.

Here's the crazy situation. Somebody making $10 million in a year is contributing the EXACT SAME AMOUNT into Social Security as somebody making $160,000. Let's raise the cap and expand Social Security benefits, not cut them.

Tens of millions of Americans on Social Security rely on it to survive. Trump and the Republicans want to slash their support so billionaires can get more tax cuts. That's criminal! Let's enhance Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share. We have a plan!

Elon Musk said Social Security was a 'key target' for cuts. The Republicans want to slash your earned benefits to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. It's long overdue for Congress to enhance Social Security - not cut it - by ensuring the wealthy finally pay their fair share!

It is absurd that a billionaire in America today pays the same amount of Social Security taxes as someone making $168,000 a year. It is time to scrap the cap, expand benefits, and fully fund Social Security.

Today’s report confirms what we’ve known for years. Social Security will be automatically cut if Congress fails to act, with CT seniors facing a $556 cut MONTHLY. Protecting Social Security won’t be enough. We need to enhance it by making the wealthy pay their fair share!
