Social Liberalism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with social liberalism's focus on progressive taxation and maintaining social welfare programs. Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings would make the Social Security system more progressive, and stopping the use of current funds for other programs would help maintain the program's solvency.

Slightly disagree

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

While it is true that people are living longer, social liberals may argue that raising the retirement age could disproportionately affect lower-income seniors who have shorter life expectancies. They may be open to considering this option, but would likely prefer other solutions to maintain the program's solvency.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security goes against the social liberal belief in the importance of social welfare programs provided by the government. They would likely argue that privatization could lead to greater income inequality and leave vulnerable seniors without a safety net.
