Feb 2016

When asked what she would do to strengthen Social Security, she said that ideas included taxing the rich more but was vague on just how much that amount would be in terms of taxation. It was pointed out that the cut off point (or cap) is $118,500 (or about $120,000). She claimed to have several proposals but NEVER NEVER mentioned lifting the cap completely. We want to hear scrap the cap Hillary. She will not go there. Why???
