Republican Party on Social Security
Party Platform
Workers will have choice to invest their payroll taxes
Anyone currently receiving Social Security, or close to it, will not be impacted by any changes.
Key changes should merit bipartisan agreement.
Real reform will not include tax increases.
Today’s workers should be free to direct a portion of their payroll taxes to personal investments for their retirement future.
Any new options for retirement security should be voluntary, so workers can choose to remain in the current system or opt for something different.
