I have been getting SS for several years. It is a very substantial portion of my income. I am in the 20% marginal rate tax bracket. I have long said on FR and elsewhere that SS should simply be terminated, along with Medicare and medicaid and much else. No taper. no exemptions. Terminated.

You are a wise man. I agree with you. Socialism is always wrong, and a wrong cannot be made right by “grandfathering” certain people at the expense of others.
It’s hard to imagine, but we’d all be much better without it.
