02/21 An Opinion On “AARP Pivots on Social Security Benefit Cut”
The Dems are going to try and scare old people of which I am one into believe that our benefits advice are going to be cut. SS has got to be reformed. It won’t happen over night and no one collecting right now is going to have the benefits cut so quit all the stinking panic. But something has to be done for those coming up so that there will be benefits for them. Some may not like it but FICA needs to be taken out of all wages or at least the ceiling needs to be raised considerably. Social security needs to be means tested. Some are not going to like that either but it has to happen. That does not mean they rich will get no SS but they need to get less. If I were a millionaire I would certainly not care whether I got a social security check at all. I would rather it go to those who really need it. And no I am not a liberal. I am a card carrying very strong conservative who believes this is only right. I do not believe in this Tax the rich into oblivion so we can spread the wealth. You can’t tax the rich enough to pay out debt.
