Thread Name: BS: 'Reforming' Social Security?
Subject: RE: BS: 'Reforming' Social Security?
i would like to know what the effect of say doubling the max level income from the current $80,000.00 income to say $160,000.00 would have to the future health of s.s.. how many more years would that give to the system. and also as stated before why not have every one pay into one system instead of allowing fed. workers to have a seperate system.
   i also think that raising the level of income on which s.s.payments are made and on the other side allowing for a minimum income on which no s.s. payments need to be made would help folks living at the low income side.
    i feel people with very large amounts of wealth have an unfair advantage when it comes to increasing their wealth still futher.
