Dennis Kucinich appeared in Des Moines, WA on April 12, 2012 at a forum on "The Threat to Social Security: An Issue for All Generations." Photos and videos.

The main call to action was to contact our federal lawmakers and ask them to pledge to Scrap the Cap -- eliminate the $110,100 limit on income subject to the Social Security tax. This move would greatly extend and strengthen Social Security. In fact, the Social Security Trust Fund will be able to pay 100% of benefits through 2036 even with no changes. There is no need at all to weaken benefits or postpone retirement age. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security for a substantial part of the retirement and disability income.
