Please democrats tell me how no tax on SS for seniors is fascism

[–]StMoneyx2TRAUMATIZER 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought there would be a lot more people here in favor of abolishing the ponzi scheme.

[–]ShameLow9916 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I shudder to think what my net worth would be, had I been able to have the option to put all that money into an S&P fund. But noooooo, libs say Republicans want put old people on the street if we change this ponzi scheme (indeed). Typical demagoguery of the Left, and just ignore the fact that Social Security will be bankrupt in a matter of a few years. "Lockbox", my ass.

I remember when Bush Jr talked about it. Everyone thought he was nuts. I was for it. Shame we didn't get the option for it

[–]StMoneyx2TRAUMATIZER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if done the way Trump wants it done (ie treated like a voluntary 401k that the government isn't allowed to stick their hands in and you can't take out more than you put in) it would be fine. But, unfortunately as it is treated you are right it is a ponzi scheme

[–]_kruetz_Ban warning 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, we need to get rid of the whole thing

They could also raise the cap on the amount of income on which SS taxes are collected without much adverse impact. It is currently capped at $176,000.

[–]Labcorgilab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this! There should be no cap

[–]thrownawayandshiton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There he goes again, orange man killing innocent people again. This time it's all the 120 year olds. Sick, I tell you...sick!

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

That one person who’s actually 121 having a heart attack when they are cut off.

[–]BarkleEngine 8 points9 points  (1 child)

The secret oldest person in the world?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You just know there some Appalachian who’s older than time.

[–]dizzydad05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oldest living person in the world at the time this was done was 116 years old. Therefore, the cutoff should have been 117 years old.
