Can Christina Hines Replace John James in MI-10?

Published

Yes. People live off of this. And then we have all of these billionaires that are just taking advantage of all these loopholes and systems. Why aren't we lifting the Social Security cap and making [billionaires] pay their fair share? That's right. Because their contribution to Social Security is the same as yours or mine. Yes, exactly. It maxes at the same point. It's at the same point. That is crazy. (34:34–34:39)
