I disagree with #2 as SS is currently structured. FICA payroll taxes are capped because the benefits paid in retirement are capped.

There’s no way that someone earning $300,000 should be paying the same rate as someone earning $50,000 if they are both going to be getting paid the same monthly benefit in retirement.

I think that is an area that we could likely find a decent compromise on.

I understand your point and it is valid.
