Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple
Raise it to 20% and remove the cap. I’ll accept those terms.
The average American won’t. They just want someone to pay for it. I’d be fine if it was fairly done like increasing it for everyone with no cap.
If that were true, then raising the cap should be sufficient. But plenty of people who are going need to go with the seals will oppose it all the same.
No. That is just punishing high income earners. Benefits don’t increase as we pay more. Benefits are static.
Make everyone pay more is a fair way to fund it.
