“This bill shows that Social Security is fully affordable—as long as the wealthiest among us pay their fair share,” said one advocate.

Legislation recently introduced by a pair of Democratic U.S. lawmakers to save Social Security for generations to come would extend the vital social program’s lifespan by at least 75 years, according to a federal analysis published Tuesday.

    Hey, Americans below retirement age, you know how a chunk of your paycheck goes to Social Security? Vote Democrat if you want to ever see that money again. The Republicans don’t care about you in the slightest, and will gladly allow Social Security to collapse, and then you’ll get nothing and spend your twilight years starving on the street.

    Think harder about elections, America. Think a lot harder. Your life literally depends on it.
