Sen. Elizabeth Warren is proposing new taxes on high-income Americans for the Social Security trust fund, making her the latest Democratic presidential hopeful looking to tap the coffers of the nation’s top earners to extend the life of the program.
The proposal is less dramatic than some other plans being floated in the Democratic Party. House Democrats are debating whether to advance a significant expansion of Social Security that would make the program solvent for at least 75 years through a combination of tax increases,...
So pay till your dead!
Even if you took 100% of the Top 2% incomes, you still couldn’t pay for Warren’s Healthcare program. Make over $250k, they think you’re rich; libtards realize socialism doesn’t work
Dissolve the fucking SSA!
This might be crazy...but how about make it illegal for any branch of government “borrowing” from it. Did LBJ ever pay back the $$ he stole for the Vietnam war?
How about Nocahantas Warren pay back all the aid and income she received because she lied about being a minority, an American Indian? Then she would earn some respect.
marygribbin809 New SS taxes aren't necessary. Just remove the friggin' cap!
First it's the retirement accounts then it's social security. Won't this broad complain about some thing else more important like illegals and illegal migrants entering this country, wasting tax money helping people from other countries? It's always the American people. ♀️
What doesn't she want to tax? Her appetite for my money seems to be insatiable.
The good news is that there are a lot of dumb people following the WSJ who don’t understand that this would be a good idea that would benefit them. Never ceases to amaze how the barely literate oppose increasing taxes on the wealthy because they think they will oneday be wealthy.
Means middle class pays for it
See how far that flys!
All taxes in our country always begin on a tax on the wealthy then they magically convert on a tax on everyone. Social security is already taken from peoples checks (and you have no choice in the matter). Why not allow the wealthy to opt out of social security
Her solution to every issue is to tax the shit out of something or someone!
The ponzi scheme is on life support and someone ought to look at it. Any ideas Liz would have are most likely a bad ideas
How many different ways is she going to use wealthy Americans' money?
Some body add up all the taxes she's proposing, all the expected revenue they could bring in over next 10 years, and the take home pay impact for average worker and someone making $15 per hour, versus current rates.
A 'new' one, because the first one was so good, she wants to duplicate it. Next, ... oh, no! Not more asinine ideas. Please make it stop. These people can't govern themselves, and they keep insisting on wanting to control ours.
Trump to Deafeat Warren in a landslide. 2020Election NoSocialism
Just tax more on real estate except houses they live in
How much is Elizabeth Warren giving up as she keeps growing her profits?
yes, that is the least they can do!! take care of the elderly. they are starving on the peanuts they get
I would be happy if I did not have to pay double. As a single employee self employed individual in this gig economy, I am getting screwed...
Good for her! That should have been done a long time ago!
Don’t steal any more of our money!!! 14 % should have covered TWO generations but the theiving politicians stole it all. That’s enough!!!
Good for her....and btw....it’s not a tax.
Tax the people more for a program they will never use.
she can't hit the top 2% at all. The next 10% will simply get accountants to mitigate the tax so it will be the next 30% who will pay. Then u will have dumb shits with 6 kids as well off as someone who has 2 sees them only at the weekends and earns 100k. Where is the incentive?
we do not want lunacy we want serious solutions to serious current problems!!
There is not enough money in the USA even if we tax everyone 100% to pay for all this shit! The Dems are lying everytime they open their mouths.
Never gonna work
No new taxe! Just change the rule so all they earn be taxed by social security. Right now they only pay that tax on a pitily portion of their income.
Please, Elizabeth, How long have you been in congress? Were you part of those that borrowed 2.9 TRILLION from the Social Security Trust Fund? Money that is borrowed and never paid back is stolen money. So FIX IT..
The “wealthy” meaning anyone who works
Pay TAX instead of charity
Just another plan that would provide a continuos source of money for the government to use. The SS Funds should never be used by the government for other uses. LOCK THE BOX!
the problem with all ponzi schemes is eventually you run out of other people's money!
🙄👎
Hell yes.
