How about billionaires

This is a bullshit push poll, to push for raising taxes on the working class.

It’s bullshit because the US can always meet its Social Security obligations, because the US is the issuer of its own currency, and it’s constitutionally required to pay it.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.

The audacity to suggest this after being responsible for the situations we all find ourselves in.

A landlord setting an apartment building on fire and then forcing the tenants to pay with their own money to rebuild it so the landlord can continue collecting rent again.

Insane

Tell your boomers to get a job. A failing body is no excuse--that's what technology is for. Become a programmer. No experience needed with Super Intelligence. Go label some data. Better yet can America start another war? Ship all the boomers to fight for freedom in the Ukraine. Bunch of obese grifters.

They're trying their best to get me to see Logan's Run as aspirational, rather than dystopian.

What a terrible poll. It intentionally asks an inflammatory question, taking advantage of a poorly understood issue. What this poll is really showing is that people want to fund social security, and are willing to raise taxes to do so. I bet if they'd asked about taxes on the wealthy, we'd have seen even higher support, but they didn't for some reason...?

"The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1977 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch,[5] chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Koch Industries."

A better headline would be “those reliant on social safety net don’t want to lose said safety net.”

I mean, that's what "Social Security" has always been: a suckers' bet that said marks get to pass onto the next generation to do the same for less, ad infinitum.

It's complete bullshit, and 100% a con —always has been.

(Nevermind that this "study" is corrupted AF.)
