Billionaires must pay fair share to protect Social Security

Trump and Musk's reckless attacks on Social Security threaten to deprive millions of Americans of their hard-earned retirement benefits. These repeated falsehoods about the program being a "Ponzi scheme" are nothing more than thinly-veiled attempts to gut this vital social safety net in service of tax cuts for the wealthy elite like themselves. The facts are clear - Social Security has reliably paid out every penny owed for over 80 years, keeping generations out of poverty. However, the system does need common-sense reforms to ensure its long-term solvency. Lifting the cap on contributions from billionaires like Musk, who currently pay the same amount as someone making $170,000, would extend Social Security's viability for 75 years and allow for a much-needed increase in benefits. It's outrageous that the ultra-wealthy contribute so little while working families bear the full burden. Enough is enough. The American people demand that billionaires start paying their fair share into the Social Security system they've relied on their entire working lives. Stand up to Trump, Musk, and the rest of the billionaire class hellbent on destroying this vital program for their own tax breaks. Prioritize the economic security of retirees over the greed of the ultra-rich few. The very stability of our society is at stake.
