A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.
Fox Host: "Would you consider raising the retirement age?" Trump's Social Security Administration Commissioner: "I think everything is being considered, yeah."

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s Commerce Sec. Scott Bissent claims Biden’s 500K+ manufacturing jobs “went to illegal aliens.” That’s WRONG: Payroll data only counts on-the-books workers only. Oh, and Biden added 800K+ jobs, not just 500K. Is he evil or just f*cking stupid?

As we speak, Trump is pressuring the state of Texas to rig its Congressional maps to put more Republicans in office. This is a significant uptick in Trump’s attacks on democracy. If you can’t win an election, then you rig it. If he can do it in Texas, he can do it anywhere.
