Petition urges Congress to tax the rich and protect Social Security
Original: Tell Congress: Tax the rich, don’t cut Social Security
A campaign is calling on Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy rather than cut Social Security benefits. The appeal, published by the left-wing outlet People's World, frames the issue as a choice between taxing high earners and reducing retirement income for millions of Americans. It reflects broader progressive pressure on lawmakers as budget debates put entitlement programs under scrutiny.
Why now: Ongoing US budget and deficit debates have revived fears that Social Security could face cuts, mobilising progressive advocacy.
