Debate: Read what Hillary said about Social Security v e r y carefully.

[JDPriestly]

25. Yet another reason I will not vote for Hillary Clinton.

The cap has to be raised. It is only fair.

The people who earn over $113,000, virtually all of them, earn that money thanks in part to the work of other people.

There is nothing wrong with earning a good salary thanks in part to the work of other people.

But, if you are earning good money, more than is absolutely necessary to survive, then you should pay into Social Security which helps a lot of people who cannot work and who are not receiving enough in benefits to live a decent life.

Elderly people, disabled including mentally disabled people, and children who have lost a parent in certain cases, rely on Social Security to survive.

We should raise the cap. Hillary is very weak on Social Security. I do not trust her on that issue. She is a Republican on that issue.

Hillary has the mindset of a wealthy person.

She wants to "help" the poor, but does not want social programs that are not means-tested.

Bernie seems to want to do away with a lot of the means-testing and replace it with higher taxes for the rich but then giving rich the same benefits that Hillary would give only to the poor.

I'm with Bernie on this. Let's do away with the bureaucracies that collect all that information about whether people qualify for Medicaid, qualify for college tuition assistance, etc. and spend the money we save on the services that can be provided.

Social Security is utterly necessary for older people. There are not enough jobs for people to continue to work into their late 1960s. We have so many young people out of work.

We need to raise the cap on wages to insure that Social Security is there for all of us and for future generations.
