"The legislation that I've introduced would make Social Security solvent for 75 years and increase benefits by $2400 a year. How do you do that? We have the radical idea that maybe the people on top should start paying their fair share of taxes." -Sen. Bernie Sanders

@enaidehttarb @SenSanders Congress doesn't have a spending problem, it has a too many tax cuts for big business and super rich folks that never trickles down.

@SenSanders Social Security is not the problem Poor Americans are not the Problem The solution is very simple Tax everyone fairly

@SenSanders Way too radical... If the rich started to pay their fair share, the earth would fall off it's axis, or so they would have you believe.

@cathyslifeSP @SenSanders We Vote Out every Republican, that’s how we do that!

@SenSanders Consider this

@SenSanders I agree with him 100%

@SenSanders Yes please. 🙇🏻‍♀️ #ScrapTheCap

@SenSanders Imagine that! Republicans paying their share of taxes.

@SenSanders The next time Republicans say Poor Americans and Social Security are Entitlements we can't afford

How is it a "fair share" when the people on top don't get back nearly as much as the people that hardly pay in? Social security is 6.2% for everyone. If I make $200,000 per year then I'll pay in $480,000 over 40 years. If I make $40,000 per year then I'll pay in $96,000 over 40 years. When I retire, I'll make $943 per month, regardless of how much I paid in. If it were "fair" then the person that paid in 480k would get 12 times what the person that put in 96k gets.
