Social Security is not going anywhere for better or for worse, so we just have to fix it.

That means doing ALL or at least most of these things.

1) Raising age requirements to collect
2) Cutting benefits for everyone (or at least until the baby boomers die off)
3) Additional cutting of benefits for the richest members of society (top 10%)
4) Allowing income above the current maximum level (around $120,000) to be taxable under payroll taxes.

That would more or less fix SS, or at least keep it from collapsing in on itself.

 

Allow immigrants to come and work and pay into and, later, benefit from SS.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
