Social Security news so good it will make you giddy
Campaign for America's Future
The middle class is shrinking and our private pension system is failing. But we still have Social Security, right?
Sort of. If you or someone you love relies on their earned benefits, you know how difficult it is to maintain a decent standard of living on Social Security.
We can do better.
Senator Tom Harkin has introduced a bill that says no to those who want to cut Social Security — and actually increases benefits by several hundred dollars a year. That may not seem like much, but for many Americans that's the difference between independence and poverty.
Click here to tell Congress: Don't cut Social Security benefits; increase them!
This bill won't harm the deficit. It pays for itself by making the wealthy pay the same Social Security tax rate as you and I. It's fair, modest and will actually build the trust fund.
Take a few seconds out of your day and tell Congress to pass this important reform.
Sincerely,
Roger Hickey
