Misleading
Saying he will raise social security taxes for "millionaires" is very misleading. He should say he will raise taxes on people who make over $100,000 as well as their employers without paying them additional benefits.
One of the reasons there is a cap is there is also a cap on what one can receive in benefits.
Novick is dishonest and deliberately misleading in this ad. Someone making $125k would see an increase in taxes on him/her and his employer totaling over $3000. That is $3000 less they will have to put in 401k and 401k matching. They will not ever see that money again.
