2. And there is NO reason to cut Social Security... We just need to have bold
leadership to increase the tax rate to a citizen's entire earnings, instead of capping at $108,000.00 (I think that's the # or something close to it).

The way to strengthen Medicare is to allow all American's access to it from birth till death. A universal all into one Govt pot healthcare. Tax the wealthy to set up the system to accept all American's as patients. After that, a family's earnings would determine the % that the family pays into Medicare... Then there is no reason for Medicaid or for states to slash their budgets and pay for people who desperately need the coverage.

2 easy fixes to the "problems". Most people are seeing thru their crap and use scare tactics.... There are a few who vote for Republicans and hold signs that say "Govt hands off my social security and medicare. Even low info voters are getting how screwed they are and how some sacrifice nothing, while they lose everything.. even the money that they paid into SS and Medicare their entire life.
