Rick Weiland on Social Security

Protect and expand instead of cut and destroy

A: Rick Weiland told voters that 'protect and expand,' not, 'cut and destroy,' are the words we should be using when we talk about Social Security. In the polls about 90% support requiring the super-rich to contribute to Social Security based on their entire income, just like most South Dakotans do. "So 9 out of 10 Americans say protect Social Security by making the wealthy pay like the rest of us. We can take back our Congress and protect our Social Security, or we can let the big money Congress cheat us again."

2002: Served as State Director of AARP
