A Simple Way to Repair Social Security

 Reform social security by continuing to collect if from earnings yet pay it out to retirees only until the recipient reaches the average American income. Social security should be a safety net rather than treated like a 401 k.

if Americans don’t need it they shouldn’t get it. Government benefits the wealthy too much.  Prosperous Americans feel they should get out of social security what they put in and that’s just wrong. Life is a risk and social security covers the risk of poverty in old age. It’s a kind of public insurance program rather than a savings account. The advantaged need to have some patriotic sentiments and not just lever mercenary opportunity for greed. Casinos can’t  pay out to everyone and make a profit.

Medicare is in a similar situation; it ought to pay our just to the poor while everyone prosperous should carry their own weight and pay for insurance themselves
