  Lindsey Graham’s current thoughts on Social Security are somewhat more quiet.

  Social Security is literally the easiest problem in DC to solve. All we have to do is raise the Income Cap.

  Right now, we pay SS contributions on the first $185,000 in income, and nothing after that. That means anyone making less than $185K pays SS on 100% of their income, but the wealthy only pay it on their first $185K of income, and they pay NOTHING after that.

  There is no reason at all that we couldn’t raise the cap to $250K, $500K, $1 million, or even remove it altogether, and make them pay it on their entire revenue. That would solve the probleM, FOREVER.

  That’s literally all it would take. These corrupt treasonous MAGA pedophiles like Graham, and others (Mike Lee, Rick Scott, Nancy Mace, etc) would raise contributions, cut benefits, or even end SS altogether, sending millions of people into desperate poverty and homelessness, just so obscenely wealthy people don’t have to pay the annual equivalent of a pack of gum, and pretend it’s what’s best for America.

    Keep the number the same, but make it a floor instead of a cap.

    Rest in piss. I don’t care if he might have liked it. It’s for us, not him.

  Thinking also of when Warren Buffet said his secretary paid a higher tax rate than he did.

  I’m already not retiring as it is. There’s no way I can save millions of dollars at this point. I treat my “retirement” accounts as just long term savings accounts that automatically accrue when I earn. Nothing else.

    Superannuation is an imaginary inheritance that I will never be able to use because I’ll never get to retire, and wont go to anyone because I’m not having kids.

    Life is great.

    I’m out of the loop. What were their stances on that issue?

  If it’s not going bankrupt how are billionaires the problem?

  I say we start by eliminating pensions for public service. So what you held an office, go back to work. While we’re at it, public officials can have the exact same healthcare options as every other citizen.

      Not fake politicians that talk one thing while supporting the empire.

    So you’re going to shit on only the left wing of the party but not the centrists.

    • K1nsey6@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There is no left wing of the party, they are all right wing fascists upholding and defending their owners.

    You disagree with AOCs statement? Or are you doing a “both sides bad?” I haven’t seen a “both sides bad” in a little while. Can you do it blindfolded?

      Her statement is hollow and means nothing.
