Trump's proposed payroll tax cut is an attempt to kill Social Security. [View all]

Nothing else.

The GOP opposed the Social Security Act of 1935, and they have been doing their best to weaken Social Security since that time. This should be the core of the Democratic response to any in the media or elsewhere when this proposal is mentioned.

The GOP opposes paid sick leave, and requirements that business provide paid leave. So this latest attack should bed identified as an attack, not treated as a legitimate response to the Coronavirus.
