I do not think you understand the magnitude of the funding gap that is coming. It’s on the order of needing to double or quadruple the SS tax, and will be large enough to significantly impact quality of life for workers.
I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that people able to work balk, especially given that previous and future generations were never taxed this hard for the elderly.
