Claimant: Defending Main Street PAC and Pine Tree Results PAC
Claim: Troy Jackson “wants to raise Social Security taxes,” including in a way that would hurt seniors.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Jackson proposes eliminating the cap on earnings subject to Social Security payroll taxes, which would increase taxes on workers earning more than $184,500 and their employers. His proposal would not raise taxes on Social Security benefits, and current beneficiaries would not directly pay more.
