Ensure the Solvency of Social Security and Medicare

According to AARP, Social Security benefits must be curtailed by 2034 unless Congress shores up the Social Security revenue system. Congress has regularly used social security trust funds for other, often less than laudable, purposes over the decades. It is long past due to buttress what so many low and middle-income persons depend on. One very simple, no-brainer solution is to remove the cap on income that is taxable for Social Security purposes. Why should the wealthy get a pass on their higher income levels while low and middle-income taxpayers don't? Social Security and Medicare are mainstay programs among the few in the U.S. economy that lessen income disparities between the rich and everyone else. Please create, sponsor, co-sponsor, and support legislation that guarantees Social Security and Medicare will be available for future generations.
