That’s another step to penalize success and initiative.
If some decide to “voluntarily” give back their benefits, that would be his or her decision and not the gumint’s.

No, SS isn’t a result of anyone’s success or initiative. The gov’t took our money & pretended to put it in a lock box. What we get back is usually far more than what we put in. It is actually redistribution - this time from the young to the old. Time to stop the nonsense. The only way to do that is force people to realize what it is & then start dismantling it. Means test & privatize.
That's absurd.
Means test & privatize.
???
Are you trying to make my head explode? How do you reconcile those two?
The benefit you receive from SS is based and projected on the income you made while contributing to the system.
You are suggesting people who did well in their work and careers and have other resources should forgo their SS benefits by means testing. That penalizes success.
Won’t happen.
I’m all for privatization for future retirees...
