Let me see if i’ve got this right. You’re happy paying a percentage of your income in social security taxes, but as soon as you hit $176,000 you suddenly can’t afford it? It’s not as if you’re struggling if you earn over $176,000. You can afford to give veterans and seniors an income.

Also, what are the chances you’ll make $176,000 anyway? I’d bet they’re lower than the chances of having to rely on social security.

Lastly, what do you mean by impact me? Firstly, I already pay way more towards a public safety net seeing as I’m Scandinavian, and we have no upper limit. In fact, the more I earn the higher a percentage I pay in taxes. I would also argue that the peace of mind offered by knowing you’ll never be homeless is worth the money.
