Reduce benefits for those who paid the most? That is fair, how, exactly?
I think, generally, the arguments revolve around the age of the poster. For me, about to begin drawing, to hell with the “means testing” (provided the definition is based purely on assets), it is unfair (and I pay double rate as a sole proprietor).
The other argument is to crash the system as soon as possible to at least stop the insanity of the SS ponzi scheme, even it means losing what we long-timers have put in over the decades. And hopefully come up with another system that is equitable. This argument would lean toward the younger crowd who have not “invested” as much.
