Over funded how? Right now they still collect social security. Are you suggesting they should pay more into SS and then collect less to turn it into a tax?

  They do. SS is not a tax. It’s a required investment plan. The reason it’s skewed in percentage is because it maxes out and is shown relative to their income. Just raise taxes the proper way.

  Why not raise taxes instead of ruining a honorable program?

    What does honorable mean in this context? Pay in on what you earn, that’s all. That would be honorable. If you make millions, why do you care? Your retirement is safe either way, help others have at least a little security.
