"You’re South Carolina’s senior senator. Dammit act like it."

Anti-LGBTQ+ Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) followed in the president’s footsteps on Monday when he used an anti-trans slur to describe cisgender Democratic South Carolina Senate candidate Annie Andrews.

Scott said during an appearance on Real America’s Voice, “Annie Andrews, as President Donald Trump calls her, tr***y Annie, here’s a person who believes, as a pediatrician, for trans surgery, gender surgery for trans kids. That’s wrong. Period,” Scott said.

    ANDREWS: I’ll work with anyone who’s willing to solve the problems that we’re facing here. You know, in particular, with Donald Trump, I support the no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security.

    Wealthy individuals with larger Social Security incomes should probably pay tax on Social Security.

        1% per year, like they do to our retirement fund fees.

        No one time shit. Drain the ultra wealthy forever. Spend it or lose it. The tax should apply to anyone’s assets valued at over 25m and adjusted yearly to the median wage.

        Maybe have it be an extra 2% on everything over 100m.

      Wealthy individuals don’t get more Social Security income. They don’t pay Social Security tax on income over the first ~$185,000/yr.

      The maximum benefit anyone can receive (in 2026) is ~$5,000/month.

        The average monthly benefit for a retired worker in 2027 will be $2,170 (up from $2,071 in 2026). Remember that this is only the average amount you can expect to receive if you make average wages. Some retirees receive more than this, while others receive much less.

        The maximum benefit amount that a retiree may receive in 2027 is $5,358 (up from $5,181 in 2026), including delayed retirement credits for waiting past full retirement age to start your benefits.

        I said what I said.
