I reserve my right to be bitter about social security until I see politicians raise the income tax cap and ensure the system is properly paid in for generations

I reserve my right to be bitter about social security until I see politicians raise the income tax cap and ensure the system is properly paid in for generations to come.
Otherwise, as far as it looks right now, the system is going to crash under its own weight. Not today, not in 10 years, but perhaps in the 40 years between now and my supposed retirement.
Senior voters never seem to raise a stink about this. As long as politicians from both parties promise never to cut SS/Medicare, that seems to be enough to get their votes and send them home.
