    Fat-cat social security recipients won’t be leeching off our hard-working millionaires and billionaires for much longer. Think of all the tax breaks we’ll be able to afford to give to the wealthy with that kind of money!

      We’ll just end the program and people will no longer have to contribute! Honestly the number of fuckwits who would be excited about this is the sad part. Then they’ll cry the leopards are their face when they are being forced into amazon labor camps at 83. Stupid people can’t keep nice things. They never understood their value and didn’t have to sacrifice for them. So the lesson will have to be learned again.

    Social Security would be the easiest thing to fix, and honestly, it’d be hugely popular, too.

    That is, it will be hugely popular with everyone but the Epstein class and those that do their bidding.

    Just raise the cap.

      I would be “negatively” affected with the raising of the cap. I still support raising the cap.

      I’d also like what Al Gore wanted to do in the year 2000, a “social security lock box”. Stop letting Congress spend the annual contribution surpluses on non-social security spending.

      Yeah but raising the collection age limit is likely the end result unfortunately.

    If social security gets fucked by the time I need to start using it, I’m just going to go around lighting shit on fire. And I’m not exaggerating.
