Leaving employees solely responsible for their own Social Security contributions undermines the very essence of a shared social safety net. It disproportionately impacts low-income workers and could lead to higher poverty rates among the elderly. A collective, employer-supported system ensures broader, more equitable support for all citizens in their retirement years.

As a U.S. Senator, I strongly believe that the current system where employers withhold taxes offers more accountability and ensures compliance. Having companies handle tax withholding reduces the burden on individuals and helps maintain a more organized and efficient tax system.
