“No, what would make you greedy is an unwillingness to allow any reduction of proposed Social Security increases, no matter how much your income is.”
So you’re a Marxist, then. Steal from me who earned it and then GIVE it to others who didn’t earn it. So my money gets stolen TWICE from me at gunpoint. Once when they steal it from my paycheck, with promises to give a little bit back to me right before I die, and then they break that promise and say, “Sorry, we’re gonna give your money to other people who didn’t work hard like you did. Sorry.”

The Government has already “given away” all the money you put in, and more.
Your solution is to require that more money be stolen from other people to pay you, while the country is bankrupted and destroyed.
All of spending has to be reduced, not just Social Security. If we cut way back on regulations and taxes, we may get enough growth to be able to keep paying current levels of Social Security.
There is no Social Security “trust fund” it has all been stolen and spent long ago.
Was it stolen? Yes. We can ignore the problem and have the Country be destroyed, or we can solve the problem.
I paid in as long as you did. My money was stolen as well.
Saying that government spending must be reduced, for everyone but me, does not work.
