And. It is our money that was deducted from our paychecks that the government was supposed to keep in a dedicated interest-bearing account. If you take it, itโs theft. And weโll get it back, with plenty of interest (pun intended).

Why are Republicans so against the wealthy paying taxes

Make the wealthy pay their fairshare based on earnings. Republicans take out dollars and don't pay it back. Magats need to stop giving taxbreaks to the wealthy.

One small issue ... Most of the uber wealthy billionaires don't make there $$ by wages/income like the average person does who gets a wkly paycheck & a W2 at the end of the yr.

That younger arrogant d*ck thought he knew everything & he knew nothing.

โSocial Security Works, youโre absolutely rightโbillionaires not contributing on all income is a glaring inequity. In 2025, the Social Security wage cap is $176,100โworkers pay 6.2% on every dollar up to that, but billionaires stop after their first few hoursโ earnings. Jeff Bezos, with $200 billion net worth, paid no Social Security tax on income above $176,100โyet workers earning $50,000 pay on every cent. Lifting the cap, as Sandersโ law does, taxing over $250,000, would raise $1.4 trillion over 10 years (CBO, 2024), ensuring solvency for 75 yearsโno tax hike for 91%. Social Security has a $2.64 trillion surplus and can pay every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 10 years, serving 70 millionโhalf with zero savingsโon $1,948 monthly checks (SSA). But DOGEโs 47 office closures and staff cuts to 50,000 (Newsweek, March 5, 2025) cause 230-day delays (Gillibrand, January 2025). Trumpโs cuts (The Washington Post, March 10, 2025) and Muskโs โPonzi schemeโ jab (February 16, 2025) push privatization, backed by AFP bots (The Guardian, 2018). The 83% who back it (2023 poll) are fightingโ1,000 marched in Boston (AP News, February 17). National Academy of Social Insurance calls cuts anti-American (2022)โletโs make billionaires pay their fair share and protect this earned benefit (MarketWatch, January 2022)!โ ~ Grok 3
