How naive. How misleading.

Could we? That would violate the basic principle of Social Security that it is self-funded by ALL worker’s salary and wages.

To better understand this point of view, first define “income.” Musk (most billionaires) has no salary or bonuses. Any change in his net worth is based on changes in his investments, up or down.
Based on the structure of his income he won’t be eligible for Social Security benefits.
Imagine making a forever commitment for higher benefits – compounded with COLAs and supporting the funding on the gyrations of not only the stock market, but a few companies as well?


Not to worry. The new administration will do away with social security and medicare anyway.

it would be nice to get the tax base up to 90% of wage and salary income. It has fallen to the low 80s over the years.
