By this standard, "fair" means someone else should be forced to pay more into Social Security without receiving more in return, so they can subsidize other people's retirements while covering decades of government waste, broken promises, and mismanagement. If Social Security is such a great deal, why not let people opt out and keep what they've earned? The fact that participation is compulsory says more than any slogan about "fair share" ever could.

Libertarians have disappeared from American politics. Their think tanks and magazines are richly endowed but irrelevant, their ideas exhausted. What happened to champions of free markets and free people? ✍️ @ToryAnarchist Article | spectator.com/article/the-st…

We’re going to stifle American prosperity to top off retirement income.

If social security does go bust, it’s going to be younger Gen X and Millennials who really take it on the chin - having paid in large sums over most or all of their working lives, only to get nothing.

This is civilizational suicide. The entire system as it exists is totally unsustainable, bankrupting our country, fueling inflation, and radicalizing millions of Americans into becoming Communists because they don’t understand why they’re falling further and further behind in the K shaped economy we find ourselves in. We are punishing and radicalizing poor young Americans in order to continue to subsidize the lifestyle of rich old ones. But rather than do the reasonable thing and cut something that’s mathematically spiraling out of control, Congress wants to further punish young Americans in order to maintain Total Luxury Boomer Communism just a little bit longer.

Social Security is projected to run deficits for the rest of the century. There’s no mystery about how to fix it: Raise payroll taxes. Slow benefit growth. Raise the retirement age. Lift the taxable wage cap. Washington’s preferred solution? Keep kicking the can down the road.

Who is going to pay for the younger generations Social Security and Medicare 30 years from now? We have a demographic crisis on our hands. Younger people can’t afford homes and have kids. The American Dream is dying right in front of us.

There is no way to save Social Security that doesn’t include GROWING THE ECONOMY.

There is no "fixing" Social Security. Individuals should have never trusted the government to run a retirement system. The solution is to dismantle it and allow workers to invest 12% of their paychecks as they see fit -- not fund the government's endless spending. wsj.com/politics/policy/soci… via @WSJ

I agree, all that put into social security should be compensated, but the program itself needs to be phased out for younger generations. America can no longer afford social security

This is what a rigged economy looks like: Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than at any time in American history, worse than the “Gilded Age” of Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and Carnegie. Today, the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% and one man, Mr. Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households. Not acceptable. We can, and must, create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
