RE: Social Security Is A Doomed Social Program That We Are Throwing Away Our Money Into
I think we should pay taxes but we should force politicians to actually have a plan to revise social security so it lasts. Raise the age announce it 10 years in advance so people know. Literally do anything than just pretend it will continue going on.
Well, the problem is that the means tested benefits are very ineffective. THe rules are complicated, and not very fair. A lot of people are living beneathe the poverty line, but get nothing. Some people game the system.
THere is little incentive to take a part time or low income job, because you lose money, but for many people without higher education, this is the only option. Getting a college degree is too expensive for big parts of the population.
So we need a UBI, and we need it now. And free education.
