social security should be renamed to senior retirement benefits. for some reason the government thinks its like welfare and its not. taxpayers have been paying for it all along their working lives.
the name connotates a entitlement program such as welfare.
this program was extracted from our earnings as well as medicare was extracted.
when you collect your taxed (social security and Medicare) you get a small stipend and pay for the medical portion. so very wrong welfare should get very little and have to pay for medical. we should get all of our money back with interest when we submit our paperwork for retirement benefits and our Medicare all parts should be free. Or better yet just give the seniors the medical that is given to welfare recipients and give the welfare recipients the medical nightmare that is given to seniors.
As of June 2024, there are approximately 51.2 million Social Security retired workers and their dependents. Additionally, about 7.2 million disabled workers receive benefits, with a significant portion of these beneficiaries being over 60 years old. So is there a political party that would like to get receive the lion-share of potentially 60 million votes in 2028?
This is a potential way that you can benefit Social Security retirees and disabled over 60 … without causing any harm to anyone and without exceeding 10% sales tax. Whatever political party would step up and stand up and do what is right for senior US citizens in this country will be a hero forever. These Americans have worked their entire lives and sacrificed, and they are now being thrown into extreme poverty and losing their homes because of the outrageous property taxes and because of the doubling and tripling of homeowners insurance and HOA fees and auto insurance and you, Congress persons and senators are doing absolutely nothing about it.
You don’t have to increase Social Security payroll taxes … just passed a 10% federal sales tax, not on top of the existing taxes, only the excess of existing taxes and online, and put that money into the Social Security Trust Fund! Instead of 12 payments per year Social Security retirees would receive two additional payments. They would get a double payment in December and a double payment in June. And as a political party, you will get the lion-share of 60 million votes.
