I hate to break it to people, but we’ve had a progressive income tax system for quite some time now.

I hate to break it to you but I don't think there is a person here who doesn't know that.

It’s now a bolt from the blue that such things exist. Making a broke program slightly less broke by means testing is not taxing the rich.

You can think what you want, but means testing SS is like taxing the rich.

This is an opinion. You cannot prove it true, nor can I really prove it false. It’s a matter of what you perceive the point of the program to be.

You evidently believe the system to be an annuity. I believe it to be welfare. Given how much it pays out to people who didn’t pay jack in, and the lack of any principle, I’d say there’s plenty more evidence supporting my opinion.
