Social security insolvency is a myth perpetuated by the rich. Social security is sustainable if we just raise the cap so income over ~200k gets taxed as well. The rich want to make it seem like this isn’t an option, because it’s broadly popular and would force the politicians to do it, and that social security going bankrupt is inevitable and the people just need to accept that and move on.
Don’t accept the myth, only accept what your owed.
It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.
SS insolvency is not related to whether or not I get it. The government can just say “fuck you” and unless I’ve spent a trillion bucks a year on bombs for 40 years there’s nothing I can do.
