The threat of raising the retirement age directly impacts Gen Z and Millennials. In the 2024 election, Gen Z should be paying attention to Social Security.
Please tax my 169,000th dollar all the way to my 400,000th to buttress social security. Just knowing it’ll be taxes will make me more likely to arrive there.
They use the word “Entitlements” when they mean “Social Security”
Because they dare not threaten Social Security.
But the threat is real. How dare they call YOUR future pay check, the pay check earned and deferred for future use anything else but Security — Social Security. This is not free money. You earned it. You saved it. Any cut will cut deeply into your future food, medicine, and retirement security.
Spot on. "Entitlements" is their coded language for Social Security (also Medicare and Medicaid). You pay into Social Security and, frankly, are "entitled" to it. Most importantly, this issue does not affect our national debt or deficit, and there is no reason to cut benefits or extend the retirement age when a simpler solution of raising the cap on taxable income is present.
Thanks for this!
