The Truth About Republicans and Social Security
For some time now, and with increasing frequency, the left has been falsely accusing Republicans of wanting to reduce Social Security benefits or Medicare. Most recently, socialist Ruben Gallego claimed, without evidence, that Republicans want to reduce Social Security, claiming falsely he will “fight back against the ultra-MAGA Republicans in their efforts to cut Social Security and Medicare.” He will be shadow boxing in this “fight” since we are not cutting any benefits and, in fact, he ignores my efforts to increase benefits. For example, in 2021 I submitted my “No Tax on Social Security Act of 2021.” I will be reintroducing this bill this year. This legislation would change current tax policies by excluding Social Security benefits from being counted as annual gross income and subject to taxation.
