21. Not when she represents the corruption and betrayal of the middle class that allows Republicans

to win at the local level in so many states.

We need a candidate who has the courage to stand up for Democratic principles like equal rights, equal opportunity for ALL, Social Security.

Tell me. How is Hillary going to sustain and support Social Security without raising the cap on payroll taxes so that those who earn less than $250,000 but more than $114,000 pay payroll taxes on the amounts they now take home without paying payroll taxes on them?

I am wondering what her plan is for funding Social Security for the next generation?

That is one of the key reasons that I support Bernie. He is willing to raise the cap on the payroll taxes. In my view, raising that cap might lower the rate on the tax on people who are earning less today.
