> I don't see how that is just or fair It's not and it doesn't need to be. If I make 10 million dollars a year, I don't need social security period. I'm going to be fine no matter what. I personally would not mind, at all, giving up a portion of my income to other people who are not so fortunate. It's like giving the fat king and the starving orphan both one slice of bread. Sure, it's fair, but does the king need the bread? Who cares about fairness when the playing field is already so skewed in favor one side? Also: the reality here is that rich people pay WAY less taxes proportionally compared to the poor. If we want to talk fairness, we have to start there. Poor people are spending 100% of their income on consumption, it's going straight into the economy. It's getting income taxed and it's getting sales taxed. If rich people had to pay anywhere close to the amount of taxes the working class or the poor do, they would turn to dust. I'm sure they're fine in their already extremely favorable position. In short - give me a fucking break.
