These are issues that can be addressed and worked out. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
I don't hear you complaining about the triple taxation that confronts Social Security recipients under the current scheme. What gives with that?
CA....
Under the current scheme they somehow calculate and tell you what part of your SS is the return of your taxes already paid, and what is the taxable part, don't they? One could question their assumptions on the "investment return" there [and thus their calculations], but not the principle.
