Answer is actually simple. We make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share and before anyone gets just too fired up about that, think about this. Right now. A CEO making $20 million a year pays about the same amount into Social Security as someone making $176,000 a year. That's just not fair. So by changing the law, we can even out the playing field for working families and bring in more money to make sure Social Security is around for our kids and our grandkids and all the generations to come.
