It should not go to Wealthy people for one and there should not be a limit on wealthy people's income for paying on. Also it should only be used for what it's in intended for.
“No one will lay a hand on your Social and Security and Medicare!” says President Trump. They are a “rock solid guarantee!” says President Biden.
Both are dangerously wrong. Our retirement programs are going broke.
Here’s why:

In light of the Supreme Court blocking all avenues of accountability for Trump with its decision in Trump v. United States, Judge Merchan is the last best hope to preserve the Republic from its overthrow by Donald Trump. See our letter to Judge Merchan, which explains why a prison sentence is more imperative than ever: https://t.co/zIqzOx70hf @BruceFeinEsq
How many gas-powered vehicles would it take to produce that much power⁉️
How much greenhouse gas does it take to launch one filled starship⁉️ @elonmusk
The Supreme Court placed itself on trial with this decision – and its credibility has been further diminished in the eyes of all those who believe in the rule of law.

Wow… NBC News just threw Biden under a bus.
The MSM have completely turned on him. This does NOT happen organically. These MSM outlets do NOT operate individually.
The MSM were instructed to turn on Biden.
Only question is, who made the call?
This is the email I just sent to 28 Democrats -- 12 Senators, 15 House members and one governor (Wes Moore):
Dear [],
You may be surprised to hear that I am NOT writing to ask you to persuade President Biden to withdraw from the race.
Rather, I am asking you to tell him that he needs to show me (and every American) that the Joe Biden we saw on Thursday night was an old man who had a bad night, not an old man in a moderate to advanced state of cognitive decline.
Specifically, he needs to appear in unscripted settings and handle fair but tough questioning (further demonstrations of his ability to read from a teleprompter will not assuage my concerns). Four ideas come to mind:
• Hold an hour-long press conference at the White House (and continue holding them every week until the election);
• Do an interview with 60 Minutes this week, to be aired next Sunday;
• Meet with the editorial board of the New York Times so that they can see that they were wrong to call for his resignation; and
• Do another appearance on a late-night show, similar to the one four months ago with Seth Meyers.
This can all be done in the next week – there is no time to waste.
Right now, I feel deceived. For months my Republican friends have been sending me videos from Twitter and Fox “News” that appear to show Biden’s dementia. Though I was concerned, I was mostly able to dismiss these often deceptively-edited videos as the usual Republican attack machine idiocy because I remember how they tried to do the same to Hillary in 2016.
But the debate changed all that.
My uncle developed dementia in his early 70s and it was frightening and heart-breaking to see how quickly he deteriorated from being vibrant to near-vegetative, unable to feed himself or recognize his wife and children.
The Biden I saw at the debate appeared to be well on that path, so the burden of proof is now on him to demonstrate otherwise. Unless he does so, I will be forced to conclude that there has been a concerted effort by him, his wife, and his closest advisors (and possibly the mainstream media) to deceive me and the American people about the rapid deterioration of his mental acuity.
If it’s as bad as what we all witnessed on Thursday night, then he needs to put his country first and step aside immediately. While there would be a period of chaos to and through the convention, I think there are more than a dozen incredible, young, dynamic Democrats who would step forward, and I think there’s a good chance that one would emerge who would thrash Trump and leave him on the dustbin of history, where he belongs.
But if a cognitively impaired Biden remains in the race, he will lose badly and forever be remembered as the selfish man responsible for giving us – and the world – four more years of a total nightmare that threatens everything he – and we – believe in.
The end of our democracy? Women and minorities see decades of progress erased? A larger, more radical conservative majority in the Supreme Court locked in for a generation? Abortion banned nationwide? Ukraine handed to Putin on a platter? More tax cuts for the rich? Free rein for polluters leading to soaring temperatures, rising seas and more violent weather?
Welcome to Trump's world!
I will fight to my dying breath to stop Trump and his toxic Trumpism, but if the man I saw at the debate is the real Joe Biden right now, then it would be a waste of my time and money to support him because he has almost no chance of beating Trump.
He will, of course, get my vote, but nothing more. Instead, I will channel all of my energies into helping Democrats hold the Senate and retake the House to mitigate and danger and damage of President Trump.
In your conversations with Biden and his advisors, don't pull any punches. I fear his ego will prevent him from seeing the truth – and those in his closest inner circle, whose power and position would be lost if he steps aside, will only tell him what he wants to hear.
So it's up to the leaders in our party – most importantly dozens of people like you, but also countless people like me – to speak out loudly and clearly, not just privately, but publicly, and call on Biden to either prove that the debate was a one-time, outlier event or do what's best for his party, the country and the world, and all the issues he cares about and step aside.
Best regards,
Whitney
Whitney is one of my good friends who accused me of sending fake @POTUS Biden videos and has now seen the light. Biden can’t and won’t do what Whitney suggests.
No candidate who needs a teleprompter for a fundraiser in someone’s home should be running for office.
