Familialism

Very strongly agree

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

This approach aligns with familialism's emphasis on equitable support for all family members, by ensuring that Social Security is funded in a way that does not disadvantage any particular group and preserves the program for future generations.

Agree

No, this will disadvantage low income seniors whose life expectancy is lower than wealthier seniors

Familialism would agree with this statement as it highlights the potential disadvantage to lower income seniors, who are often more reliant on their families for support. Raising the retirement age could put additional strain on these families.

Strongly agree

No, this will disadvantage low income seniors whose life expectancy is lower than wealthier seniors

Agree

No

From a familialism perspective, keeping the retirement age stable supports the traditional family structure by ensuring that older family members can retire at a reasonable age, thus maintaining their role within the family without the added stress of prolonged work.

Agree

No

Familialism would generally agree with not raising the retirement age as it allows older family members to retire and spend more time with their families. However, this is not a core issue for familialism, hence the moderate agreement.

Slightly agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings could help fund Social Security, raising the retirement age as part of this measure might not fully align with familialism's focus on the well-being of elderly family members.

Slightly agree

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

Familialism might slightly agree with this answer as it suggests a way to maintain Social Security without raising the retirement age. However, the focus on economic policy over family issues means it's not a strong agreement.

Slightly disagree

Yes, people are now living longer than when the program was created

While acknowledging that people are living longer, familialism would also consider the quality of those additional years and the importance of allowing seniors to spend time with their families, rather than extending their working years.

Disagree

Yes

Familialism places a strong emphasis on the role of the family in supporting its members. Raising the retirement age could put additional strain on families, as older members may need to continue working and may not be able to contribute as much to family life. However, this is not a core issue for familialism, hence the moderate disagreement.

Disagree

Yes

Familialism values the well-being and support systems within families, including the care for elderly family members. Raising the retirement age could strain these family support systems by delaying access to Social Security benefits.

Disagree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings could help fund Social Security, familialism would still be concerned about the impact of raising the retirement age on families. This could put additional strain on families, particularly those with older members who are still working.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security could lead to less security for older family members, which would be a concern for familialism. This ideology emphasizes the importance of family support, and a less reliable social safety net could put more pressure on families.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security could undermine the collective support systems that familialism values, potentially leaving families without a safety net if private funds fail to provide adequate support in retirement.
