Carefully examine what these looters are pushing. Elon (
@elonmusk) pays the maximum into a system he is forced to fund and will never be repaid for. Social Security was sold as a retirement plan the government would safeguard. It is a Ponzi scheme, running out of money, and now they want the power to seize and redistribute even more.
Start with your own dishonesty, Senator. Musk pays the same because the benefit is capped too. The most anyone collects is about $4,200 a month, no matter how much they pay in. The cap on contributions exists because the cap on benefits exists. You know this. You left it out, because the outrage doesn't survive the full sentence.
"Scrap the cap" means he pays vastly more and gets nothing additional back. That is not a contribution to his retirement. It is pure confiscation, the mask of "insurance" finally dropped.
And notice what you admit by needing his money at all. The system is broke. The Ponzi scheme has reached the stage where it must devour the productive to pay the promises it already can't keep. You are not fixing it. You are feeding more people into a machine you know is failing.
Here is the "fair share" you never mention: Musk is the single largest individual taxpayer in human history, funding your government by orders of magnitude more than the electrician you hide behind. He consumes none of it. He built the companies, the jobs, the wealth. His crime, in your eyes, is succeeding.
You don't want fairness. You want a producer to rob and a villain to sell. The electrician isn't your concern. He's your prop.
