yeah and why are the few million upper middle class people (who slaved away for 10 years getting the qualifications to earn an upper middle class income) expected to fund the retirement of people who can’t or won’t take care of their own retirement. SS is an important system which saves people from destitution, but telling a big group they can’t participate in the end because they have too much already?
There are about a thousand Americans who live like absolute gods while avoiding any kind of tax using an army of accountants to shield themselves from having to contribute. Guy should be directing his ire at them not us modern day kulaks who expect to receive a benefit they’ve funded their whole life, despite maybe having a little extra money saved on the side.
