Black men should be able to start collecting social security at 45, since the stress we go through and we not even making it to 60 nowadays
Science sure has come far. The average age of death in America in used to be 66

Dog, I'm not even bragging, but I hit a new tax bracket recently when I got a promotion and they stopped taking social security taxes by August every year for me...I was like WTF, why is my paycheck $400 more...I'm like this why it's going bankrupt??!?Nah, it's going bankrupt because the top tax rate was reducedYou know this. Rich folks are richer than ever and their tax burden went down while the population kept going up. Technically it isn't isn't bankrupt, it would just pay out less due to having to pay what comes in rather than their being a full "lockbox" to tap from.
I'm not even rich, I just expected to keep paying it. If rich people don't stop acting like some bytches and pay that shyt...I would gladly pay to keep that system going.
This system/society will eat itself if you don't put into it.
It wasn't a ponzi scheme, it could absolutely survive if they return the tax rates to something historically significantseems like basic common sense that if they created social security at 65, when people died in their 60s, and they now die at 80, that would overextend the system
it's a fukking ponzi scheme. we can talk about that without wanting to raise the age. no one wants to raise the age any higher
Look at the history of decreases starting in those Reagan years. Funds are there. The taxation is not.
Yup, it literally just stops at a certain point. The rest is just your bread, and whatever you make, there are people making way more than you. Some folks stop getting taxed a quarter into the year. It's rigged and even @the cac mamba knows it.

i'm all for raising taxes on the rich
i just don't get why people are so insecure about talking about how when you set up a system when people only lived into the 60s, and now they live until 80, and the payout criteria didn't change, that didn't obviously overextend with the system
it's a ponzi schemeDapping for the former, not the latter. Social Security saved a ton of people from poverty cause old folks used to just die in squalor, so its one of those things that never really gets touched in a meaningful way. Its not a ponzi, it's just out of date, but old folks are NOT able to keep working. Social Security , as long as we are a capitalistic society, keeps old folks from becoming Soylent Green.i'm all for raising taxes on the rich

Tons if it was really about life and not profit.How much farther do you think medical science can go with extending the human life span?
The one that we hope is still there when we retire if we’re not independently wealthy.

The AVERAGE was lower mostly because infant deaths were a lot more common.

Might’ve peaked, honestly.
Disease in the young are on the rise and have been for a long time.
