GOP would do away with it if they could....I'd say $13 maybe. I am retired so you could always up Social Security retirement, that'd be fine. But I never thought about it before...Yes? How much are you going to dictate that you get paid?next time the Democrats get in it's the nuclear option for you. Then we really will get what we want , living wage .
Social Security has already been upped.
The bush boy did it.
Until the bush boy I was told all my life that full retirement was 65. Now full retirement for me is 67.
I missed the cut off by 6 months. Anyone born January 1, 1960 now can't get full retirement when we're 65 as we were told all our lives. We now have to wait until 67.
We already made a sacrifice. I think that the cap on FICA should be removed and all income including unearned income should have FICA imposed on it. The Social Security budget should be taken off the general budget so politicians can't steal from it and the money they have stolen from it is paid back immediately.
Social Security is saved with no problem.
Then they owe millions of Americans a lot of money.
I've been paying FICA since I started working when I was 14 years old.
