Agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings to fund Social Security is in line with interventionist policies aimed at reducing inequality and ensuring the financial sustainability of welfare programs. However, the suggestion to raise the retirement age as part of this answer might be seen as less favorable from an interventionist perspective, which values protecting vulnerable populations, including older workers.

Slightly agree

No

From an interventionist perspective, the focus is on protecting the welfare of all citizens, especially the vulnerable. Not raising the retirement age could be seen as a way to protect older workers who may not be physically or mentally able to continue working. However, the stance is not strongly positive without considering the financial sustainability of the Social Security system.

This answer acknowledges a changing demographic reality, which is a rational consideration for policy adjustment. Economic interventionists might agree to an extent, as it reflects an adaptive approach to policy that considers societal changes. However, the agreement is not strong without a clear analysis of how this change serves the broader goal of economic stability and social welfare.
