That is their top dream. They will do it in a way that is framed so they can say Democrats are against both workers and small businesses. This IS the way - payroll tax cuts. Trump has been pushing for this for months and pushing to make the cuts permanent.

Doing that would end Social Security. We need to fight against this disguised Social Security sabotage with everything we've got.
