Why is Elon Musk so dead set on attacking Social Security — a program with overwhelming popularity even among Republicans?
Because he’s more interested in stuffing his own pockets, in the form of tax cuts, than actually making the government more “efficient.”
But the real way to ensure that Social Security stays solvent for the next 75 years is actually to make sure that the ultra-rich, like Elon Musk, pay their fair share.
Right now, billionaires like Musk pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $180,000 a year. Senator Bernie Sanders and other lawmakers have proposed a bill that would subject all income over $250,000 to the Social Security payroll tax, and allow the program to not only stay solvent, but also expand benefits for millions of Americans.
