Socialism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with socialist values, as it addresses income inequality by eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings and ensures the sustainability of the Social Security program by stopping the spending of current funds on other programs. This solution maintains the social safety net for seniors without raising the retirement age.

Strongly agree

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

Socialism is concerned with addressing income inequality and ensuring a strong social safety net for all citizens. This answer highlights the potential negative impact of raising the retirement age on low-income seniors, which aligns with socialist values. However, some socialists might still argue that raising the retirement age is necessary due to increased life expectancy.

Agree

No

Socialism generally supports a strong social safety net, including retirement benefits. Keeping the retirement age the same would maintain the current level of support for seniors. However, some socialists might argue that raising the retirement age is necessary due to increased life expectancy, so the score is not at the extreme end of agreement.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings aligns with socialist values, raising the retirement age could disproportionately affect low-income seniors. Socialists might see this as a mixed solution, with some positive aspects but also potential negative consequences for vulnerable populations.

Disagree

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

While it is true that people are living longer, socialism generally prioritizes the well-being of the working class and vulnerable populations. Raising the retirement age could disproportionately affect low-income seniors who may not have the same life expectancy as wealthier seniors. However, some socialists might see this as a practical solution to maintain the sustainability of the program.

Disagree

Yes

Socialism generally aims to provide a strong social safety net for all citizens, including the elderly. Raising the retirement age could be seen as a reduction in this safety net. However, some socialists might argue that raising the retirement age is necessary due to increased life expectancy, so the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security goes against the core principles of socialism, which advocates for public ownership and control of essential services. Socialists would strongly disagree with privatizing Social Security, as it could lead to reduced benefits and increased inequality.
