Support the Six-Figure Limit to Save Social Security

To: Sen. Hagerty, Rep. Kustoff, Sen. Blackburn

From: A constituent in Brownsville, TN

May 7

I need you to support the Six-Figure Limit proposal to prevent Social Security from collapsing in 2033. When the trust fund runs dry in less than seven years, I'll face an automatic 25% cut to my benefits. That's $18,400 a year for a medium-income couple like mine. I can't afford that. The Six-Figure Limit caps benefits at $100,000 for couples earning six figures or more from Social Security. These high earners get only one-seventh of their income from the program, so they'll be fine. Meanwhile, this fix saves $190 billion over the next decade and delays insolvency by seven years, giving Congress time to find permanent solutions. Social Security was created to keep seniors out of poverty, not to provide gravy for the well-to-do. The program has been cash flow negative since 2010, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act made it worse by cutting taxes that replenished the trust fund. I need real action that protects my benefits, not more giveaways that drain the system. Vote for the Six-Figure Limit and make a difference in my life.
