• Removing the CAP on social security and medicare contributions
    Currently there is a limit on the income level which requires contributions to medicare and social security. If we are interested in preserving these critical programs needed for the maintenance of even a modest life style for our elderly we must find sources of additional funding. Currently contributions to these programs ceases at about $106 thousand. Earnings beyond that level are not subject to these deductions either on the part of the employee or employer. Support for these programs should be made by both the employer and employee up to the entire amount of wages paid coupled with a cap on the amount that can be collected.

  • Save the U S Postal Service
    We need to repeal the Issa legislation that puts an undo and unnecessary burden on the Postal Service to fund their pension and medical obligation in 7 years. The last thing we want to do is put the postal service in bankruptcy and privatize our postal service.

  • Save social security
    At this time, workers contribute to Social Security on their earned income up to $100,100.00. Once that income level is reached, nothing more goes into the fund. If the cap were eliminated, Social Security would be healthy infinitely. Someone pointed out this week that a star baseball player would play only one inning of one game to meet his obligation.

  • Greening building codes
    Our weather and natural disasters make us vulnerable to loss of life, simply because we did not require green technology in in building codes. The cost of not having power is well documented and loss of life due to lack of electricity is immeasurable. How many seniors die during the coldest and hottest months because they could not run a fan or a safe radient heater? I propose Greening building codes to require all new construction include enough green technology, such that the benefit/savings account for 25% of the estimated standard requirement for the building, to include both commercial and residential. The requirement for Hospitals, in-patient facilities, assisted living facilities, and the like, should require that 50% minimum of energy requirements be met with off the grid technology.

  • Allowing Our Children From Single Parents In Low Income Families To Stay In School
    The nations low income families who have children in single parent homes are forced to consider having their children go to work to contribute to the household expenses instead of finishing school so that they can become self sufficient and move out on their own to take care of themselves and becoming productive citizens. We need to petition the Government to allow for college students passing their classess to have a stable home that is not going under to take care of their children housing, meals and transporation costs.

  • Fix Social Security with CBO option 2 or 3
    "Fixing" Social Security. This would fix Social Security essentially forever. It would cost the worker an extra forty cents per week each year. But avoid benefit cuts, increases in retirement age, turning SS into welfare by "taxing the rich." And shut up the Liars about Social Security creating "huge deficits."

  • Congressional retirement plan abolished
    While the Congress establishes the rules and uses the funds contributed to Social Security, they should be required to be enrolled as well. Congressional free-for-life retirement plans should be abolished.
