In their push to privatize everything Capitalists like Steve Forbes are still trying to privatize Social Security.
If the Capitalists can’t achieve that goal then their Plan B is to “starve the beast” into oblivion.
Republicans are the “enemy of the people.”
Why do high earners need a big raise halfway through the year when they hit the income cap subject to SSA insurance premiums? The cap has risen over the years, doubling between 1991 and 2011 from $53,400 to $106,800. Now up to $127,200.
But that leaves a LOT of money on the table from all those 6-figure salaried workers: high-tech, Wall St., attorneys, doctors, upper management, etc. Since they are already doing ‘pretty OK’ compared to the 99% – couldn’t they bolster the trust fund by paying the 6.2% on ALL of their income?
