The other is a Democrat from Massachusetts who built a career protecting consumers from financial tricks and traps.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe don\u2019t agree on everything, but here\u2019s one thing we do agree on: Congress must act now to save Social Security for generations of Americans to come.\u201d\n\n\u201cSocial Security is a core component of our nation\u2019s promise \u2014 a covenant between the federal government and Americans who pay into it throughout their working years so they can retire with dignity.\u201d\n\n[\u2026]\n\n\u201cWhy should a middle-class nurse pay a larger share of her paycheck \u2014 than a wealthy corporate lawyer? This is doubly unfair in an economy in which top earner\u2019s wages, over time, have pulled far ahead of those of the average worker.\u201d\n\n[\u2026]\n\n\u201cThis is a no-brainer: the wealthiest Americans, who have benefited the most from America\u2019s opportunities, should contribute the same percentage of their income as a factory worker in Chillicothe, Ohio, or a teacher in Worcester, Mass.\u201d\n\n\u201cMost Americans work into their 60s or 70s. Throughout their working lives, they pay into Social Security with the understanding that it will help them support themselves in retirement. With rising prices and artificial intelligence causing economic uncertainty for the future, Social Security must remain a stable foundation to help retirees afford life\u2019s basic necessities.\u201d\n\n\u201cSocial Security was created by overwhelming bipartisan congressional majorities. Today, members of Congress from both parties must come together again to save it. That\u2019s why the two of us are working together on legislation to remove the cap on Social Security taxes and extend the solvency of our retirement system. Americans deserve nothing less. Preserving the American dream for our children and grandchildren depends on it.\u201d", 1, "2026-06-24T06:25:30Z", "2026-06-24T06:26:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moreno.senate.gov/press-releases/moreno-warren-nyt-op-ed-lift-the-social-security-cap"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9866219479590654, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
