- coryrc 5y agoSS "payments" are taxes.
- tylersmith 5y agoThose are payroll taxes, not income or wealth taxes that would be targeting the rich.
- dlp211 5y agoSS payments are now also paid from treasury reserves, so collected general taxes do in fact pay for (part of) SS. Also, there is no reason that the cap on SS tax collection shouldn't be lifted.
