It’s time for Congress to take a stand and tell us their plan to make Social Security financially sound so future generations get adequate benefits. Paul Ryan has suggested cutting benefit levels by 30 percent and raising the age of eligibility. Some Democrats suggest that Social Security tax be assessed on all earned income. Currently, someone earning $120,000 a year and another earning $1 million a year both pay the same amount of Social Security tax. So we are asking Walz and Hagedorn to tell us what their plan is to make Social Security financially secure now and for future generations.
