Or we could just go back to traditional values and have a 90% tax rate for the super wealthy like in the 50s

everything's being considered

I have a suggestion: a wealth tax on the ultra rich.

Lol my coworker was recently going on about how Trump was going to lower the retirement age.

Doubt he'll ever see this news though.

Anything to avoid taxing the rich.

Whatever. We'll have +3C warming before I get to the current retirement age.

I’d like to see it raise to 90, that way we can get rid of some of the Trump voters.

Those boomers need to pull up those bootstraps, sell their houses, cash in their 401k, and get back to work.

More tax dollars for his coffers and his world buddies.

It makes sense to raise the retirement age if longevity is increasing, but longevity in America is actually decreasing. If anything, we should be lowering the retirement age.

There is no need to do anything to Social Security except raise the income cap from the current $168K, to $250K or $500K or higher. That will solve all of the problems for decades. Sure, a few people will have to pay SS taxes on a larger percentage of their income, but I pay SS taxes on 100% of my income, so they get no sympathy from me.
