Angela G<p>Please copy and paste onto the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends. </p><p>Dear Senator / Representative --</p><p>I am asking you to draft legislation to lift the Social Security income cap. People making more than $176,100 have plenty of money to pay more taxes and represent only about 7% of American taxpayers. Getting rid of the cap would leave Social Security solvent for decades to come. Frame it as the patriotic duty of the top 7% of earners.</p><p>I am concerned that in just seven years, Social Security could reach a fiscal cliff that could leave millions of American retirees with drastically reduced benefits, according to a recent analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB). The think tank’s new report projects that, unless Congress acts, Social Security’s main trust fund will be insolvent by the end of 2032, triggering automatic and painful benefit cuts for everyone relying on the program.</p><p>The recently passed Republican budget has accelerated the timeline by reducing Social Security’s revenue through tax rate cuts and an expanded senior standard deduction. According to CRFB, these policies increase the necessary benefit reduction by about one percentage point; if the changes become permanent, the benefit cuts would be even deeper.</p><p>Now is the time to get rid of the social security income cap. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ResistOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResistOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SocialSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialSecurity</span></a></p>
