Here at The Seniors Center, we advocate returning Social Security to its origins. Our mission is twofold. We support the restoration of the Trust Fund and removal of the tax cap.
This brings up an interesting question: Why isn’t taking money from this fund (to fund things other than Social Security) illegal? For the answer, we turn to our founder, Dan Perrin.
He says: “In 1960, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people who paid into the Social Security Trust Fund do not have a Constitutional Right to Social Security benefits. Which frees Congress up to spend the money in our Social Security Trust Fund however they want.”
Does this seem like fair treatment of taxpayers? This is one reason why we spread the word and encourage advocacy to repair and refill the Trust Fund. Remember, we’re all paying into this fund with every paycheck. If we’re not entitled to be paid back, what are we really paying for?
Help The Seniors Center Protect the Future of Social Security
The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.
The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.
At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians. If you agree, we invite you to sign our petition today!
