I care about this issue because I am disabled after working and paying into social security for decades, and I have friends who are retired. This is insanity, it will cause millions to become homeless. It will cause children to starve. Just to give even more tax breaks to the ultra rich. This is America, We should do better!
After I signed up for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)--the military equivalent of the 401(k)--I watched as the $8K that I'd saved up in five years' time dropped in the mid-2000s to $3K, as the government took back its share and scooped out my contributions along with it. It would be nothing short of a crime for the same thing to occur with Social Security. This is something we've paid into it with our taxes for decades. This program is a stopgap for millions of Americans who need it to remain housed, fed, and clothed, among other things. Removing it will not "save the government money"--it will only cause more economic trouble in a dozen different directions, and will cheat people out of their own invested funds. We trusted this country, and we invested in the United States with our Social Security taxes, and the U.S. invested in us. It was a promise for us to mutually look after one another--and one that should be kept.
Please, please protect our social security! We have paid into it our entire working lives and we need this. Government may run the program but that money is ours. If you cut it we want every dime we have paid into it returned. If not it's taxation without representation all over again along with outright theft and mismanagement that can't be blamed on anyone other than whomever cuts it.
I paid into Social Security for 52 years. The fund has been repeatedly raided by craven politicians. Any future shortage can easily be precluded by removing the cap on Social Security earnings and making billionaires pay their fair share!
After five years and receiving national recognition, La Ofrenda did not receive funding from HSA. I was doing surveys on Saturday and one man said, "This is one of the best food pantries, if not THE best. I hope they don't cut you guys!" Yes, unfortunately, that is exactly what HSA did. We serve 800 families every other week and have given out over 80,000 units of food since the pandemic. We have prevented hunger and poverty and it does not seem morally right to cut families at the knees. Please sign this petition to get our voices heard about this amazing program that should not go away!!!
Being a single mom/single parent HOH in this day and age is very hard financially. We need all the help we can get for household items and daily provisions. Having tariffs put on bare necessities that we have to use that is NOT made here is another hardship. It would make it better to know exactly how much more we're paying with knowing how much the taxes are!
