Why, will my benefits be going 100% to match all that over the cap taxation being levied upon me? I quite like my summer "raise" each year when I cap out. I'm not going to get shite anyway; it will eventually be means tested and I'll be too "wealthy" to even recoup what I wasted putting in.
I'm not suggesting that I want them to do that. I just think it's something I can see them doing.

Taxing the middle class (however you or I define it) will not move the needle. The top 1% is where the money is.
How would you tax them if they don't have regular income?

They could sell us Greenland and change their retirement age to 55

Biden and Harris proposed taxing unrealized capital gains. Insane, but it hardly got reported on or discussed.

They should cut both of those.

People don't like to hear it, but Social Security and programs like it were meant for people who couldn't physically or mentally work anymore. If you didn't have enough money to retire yourself at whatever age, you just weren't supposed to retire.

Do you think the solution in this country is to tax the crap out of the middle class?

Fify
If we want to spend ourselves into oblivion, there is no other way. Neither are good options, but if you refuse to change your spending habits, the only way to sustain it is to make more money.

The $400 thousand + you mention being paid out dismisses the fact that $20,000 contributed by employee and employer would be worth over $2.2 million dollars based on a low return of 6% and 35 years at mas SS paid out. Thats just one person, not to mention if the wife works and would be able to manage their own retirement portion of SS.

The ones who don't have great paying jobs are working jobs that don't pay great because they've almost assuredly never had a job that paid great even when they were young
The people who had good paying jobs are retired because they saved for retirement.

They should stop spending on Greenland and they’d have plenty of cash!

quote:Once you have enough credits paid into the SS Ponzi scheme (and you might already have done so), as I understand it presently you can retire "early" (at age 58, for example) and elect to not then take SS retirement benefits until age 70 without any associated benefit penalty. So "no, you do not have to work until age 67 to receive the full retirement benefit at age 70".
Do you know if you have to work all the way to 67 to get full benefits or can you achieve that earlier if you retire at 58 but don’t take it until 70?
There are some Medicare issues that you need to pay attention to before age 70, not directly related to SS retirement.

Over the last decade the United States has spend 15% of its budget vs Denmark spending 2% of their budget on defense.

But that’s not what you said. You said people won’t even get back what they paid into, which is unequivocally false on average

Now that we are usuing correct terms, the top 1 % pays 26 %, the top 5%-1% pays 18.8%, the top 10% to 5% pays 14.3%, the top 25% to 10% pays 10.7%, the top 50% to 25% pays 7.7%, and the bottom 50% pays 3.7%. That is the analysis from 2022 tax year, average effective rate paid.
Curious the source of this because all of these seem too low to me across the board. My effective at $180K income was 22.11% last year in a state with no income tax.

Data is here, straight from the IRS. As mentioned, those were 2022 figures, as I haven’t been able to find a full breakdown of a more recent year.
