Peter,
Please become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Social Security Expansion Act today.
Social Security is one of the most popular and successful government programs in the history of our country. For more than 80 years, through good times and bad, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American on time and without delay.
In 2021, Social Security lifted 26.3 million Americans out of poverty, including more than 18 million seniors. Before it was created in 1935, about half of our nation’s seniors were living in poverty. Today, the senior poverty rate is 10.3 percent.
Yet, despite this success, tens of millions of seniors and 25 percent of people with disabilities are still struggling to get by, and many older workers fear that they will never be able to retire with security and dignity.
Do you think we should expand Social Security? If the answer is YES, add your name and become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Social Security Expansion Act.
Currently, the Social Security payroll tax only applies to the first $142,800 of an individual’s income.
If we required millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share into Social Security we could extend the solvency of Social Security for 75 years and expand benefits across-the-board for current and new beneficiaries.
So, please join us in calling for Congress to pass the Social Security Expansion Act.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
