Please guarantee the solvency of Social Security for several more generations—and increase Social Security benefits—by doing away with the cap on Social Security taxes, which limits the amount wealthier Americans pay into the system.
Why is this important?
While many pundits and politicians are talking about cutting Social Security, in real life declining 401(K) packages and home values mean more and more Americans won't have the savings they need for retirement.
The answer? We must increase Social Security benefits.
We can guarantee the solvency of Social Security for several more generations—and increase benefits—by doing away with the cap on Social Security taxes, which currently limit the amount wealthy Americans pay into the system.
The vast majority of Americans think Social Security should be increased, and the wealthy should pay more in taxes to do it.
Further, there are already bills in Congress to make this happen: H.R. 318 from Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), and S. 308 from Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK).
Please sign our petition calling on leaders of both parties to increase Social Security benefits.
