51. Don't just lift it--REMOVE it entirely.

Mar 2022

The wealthy are not paying their fair share on this.

Understand--EVERYONE benefits when older Americans have secure retirements. They spend money, too, so it goes back into the economy and keeps the engines going. Cut benefits, and you reduce future spending and thus economic growth. Bad recipe for the future.
