We ask that the President-elect and Congress NOT PRIVATIZE Social Security retirement benefits

Created by Y.P. on November 11, 2016

The Federal government made a promise to working Americans that if they placed their the Social Security tax into a federally protected fund that they would be able, after a lifetime of working, to collect their monthly benefit to cover the cost of living upon retirement. President-elect Trump and Paul Ryan would like to see those monies privatized into Wall Street backed retirement funds, thereby removing the protections of the federal government and placing these funds at risk. Further, this is nothing more than the largest Wall Street handout in history. We ask that the Social Security system remain as promised in place.
