Pat Safrit Bullard – “To better ensure that Social Security is maintained, it matters who you elect. We need to vote for Democrats to maintain and enhance Social Security, and the US democratic republic.” 

I agree with and support the letter by Paul Zits in the Salisbury Post, 9-11-22, ‘Why penalize those who paid into Social Security’. Social Security was first born in the US under Franklin D. Roosevelt to pull Senior citizens out of the poverty they faced. A kind of insurance where you pay into the system and get money back to support you in your senior years. You may not be aware that Republicans opposed Social Security from the start and over the years continue to oppose, including attempts to privatize, and  more than a few present GOP leadership have said they will end and/or curtail it. The government has borrowed from the fund to the tune of around 3 trillion over the years and have not paid it back, and those who are wealthy pay in a paltry amount.

Yes, it is our money we have paid into Social Security to secure our benefits. To better ensure that Social Security is maintained, it matters who you elect. We need to vote for Democrats to maintain and enhance Social Security, and the US democratic republic.
