"SS will continue to grow as the ratio of workers to retirees continues to shrink" This won't go on forever. Eventually, when our Thai-grown clones are no longer viable and can't supply replacement organs for us, we boomers will die. But until that time, we'll collect SS. The boomers are just an unexpectedly large generational cohort that must be accomodated - by YOUR generation. It's your duty as an American, before you collect YOUR SS. It's what democracy and majority rule is all about, the majority forcing the minority to pay for the programs they like. I've certainly paid for more wars than I wanted to. I have a theory why you hate it so much. Did you just start dragging home 90k when the cap was raised TO 90k? I can see how that would be discouraging. Not to worry though - it's easily fixed by just removing the cap altogether: epinet.org
