To the Editor:

Got Social Security? Got a back-up plan for living without it? Payroll taxes fund Social Security.

Trump, manipulated by right-wing extremist-anarchists trying to destroy Social Security for decades, just issued an “executive action” to “suspend” (kill) the payroll tax.  

I’ve paid into it since my first job in high school. Everyone reading this who has ever worked has, too. 

Want to save your hard-earned retirement? Call your Republican senators and Trump enablers Sen. Richard Burr and Sen. Thom Tillis to tell them you oppose stealing your retirement by Trump’s sneaky destruction of payroll taxes: Burr’s Washington office number is 202.224.3154 or his Winston-Salem office is 800.685.8916. Tillis’ Washington office is 202.224.6342.
