Wouldn't that entitle the higher paid workers to increased benefits? Or are you in favor of making the program even more progressive?
I would support across the board benefit cuts until the program vanishes. A two percent cut from present benefit amounts would eliminate Social Security in fifty years. Such a time period would allow people time to adjust. Payments into the system would decrease as soon as the program is at break-even.

Yes it would and I did state that.
Ideally there should be privatized retirement accounts replacing SS.
