I signed this not so much for me but for my dad who uses both and all the other seniors or struggling families they need these programs
Chynna supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.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!
Wendy supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.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.
M.L. supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.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.
Patricia supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.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!
Martin supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.Disabled mother living with my senior citizen mother. All we get is SS and it takes both checks to pay monthly bills and bargin shop for groceries. We CAN NOT afford to miss 1 single month.
