Sign the Pledge! Social Security National Day of Action

The United States Senate

On Thursday, February 16th, millionaires and billionaires will stop paying into Social Security. This is because we only pay into Social Security on the first $127,200 of our earned income. This is fundamentally unfair.

Sign the pledge today. Pledge to call your Senators this Thursday, February 16 and tell them to “scrap the cap” on Social Security payroll contributions.

When millionaires and billionaires start paying into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we’ll be able to extend the lifespan of the trust fund and expand benefits for millions of Americans.

Dear Senator,

This Thursday, someone who earns a million dollars will stop paying into Social Security. I am going to call you and tell you that it is fundamentally unfair that millionaires and billionaires only pay into Social Security on a fraction of their income when the majority of Americans pay in on all of theirs. I call on you to pass legislation that scraps the Social Security payroll tax cap. When we do we’ll be able to extend the lifespan of the trust fund and expand benefits for millions of Americans.
