Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year.   That's outrageous.    We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.

The problem is that the government sold the public on Social Security as a funded insurance program but operated it as a Ponzi scheme. That's what's outrageous!

Benefits are capped, that is why contributions are capped. You are in the senate and don't know this? Shocking

He also gets the same retirement amount as this well paid electrician. It's a savings plan administered by the government. NOT A TAX.

Senator Murray- You’re a Senator. You’ve been in Washington DC longer than any other current Senator. No one wants to hear anything you have to say about- “We need to………” Your 30 years is up, lady.

Fittingly enough, the world’s dumbest Senator doesn’t know that Elon and the electrician pay the same SS tax because they will receive the exact same SS benefit. Social Security isn’t designed or intended to redistribute wealth. If you don’t know that you’re even dumber than everybody thinks. If you do know that and post this drivel anyway, you’re not just dumb, you’re a liar, too.

Senator, the electrician also gets the same capped Social Security benefit as Musk would. Scrap the cap on taxes without scrapping the cap on payouts, and you're not asking for a 'fair share'....you're demanding a surcharge for existing while inventing new ways to spend it. Classic D.C. math: heads you win, tails the rich lose. Maybe audit the Social Security trust fund first?

You cannot be dumb enough not to know that Social Security benefits top out. So, this must be simply disingenuous.

1993 Patty Murray becomes a Senator. 1995 Elon Musk starts his first company. In the over 30 years since then, @elonmusk has disrupted multiple mature industries, founded 7 major companies and built hundreds of thousands of jobs. In the same period, Patty has been unable to change one line of federal social security legislation. Who is the real problem here @PattyMurray?

"Outrageous"? Hyperbole on your part. What you are actually arguing for is a 7.65% flat tax, and a subsequent increase in corporate taxes of a similar number. In EVERY OTHER INSTANCE you argue against flat taxes. You are a hypocrite

Elon Musk literally $11 billion in taxes in 2021 and you guys have nothing to show for it. You don’t deserve another dollar of our taxes no matter the bracket until you can stop wasting all our money.

What electrician makes $185,000? Maybe you should get in touch with common people in order to understand how they actually live.

Senator, A) He’s paid billions in taxes. He’s paid more taxes than any human on the planet. B) The top 1% pay 50% of the taxes. C) How the fuck do you know that? Did you use your access to see get into the IRS and see his files? @elonmusk I think you need to sue.

Cry harder. You're just pissed that he's not paying more so you can steal it. Social Security will be solvent by 2030 because you can't keep your hands off of it.

He paid $11 billion in taxes.... let's see yours Cow Patty... Inflation peaked under Biden-Harris (over 9% headline, food/energy much higher). Grocery prices are still elevated from that baseline, but recent trends show cooling in some categories post-2025 policy shifts.
