I’ve been thinking about this… Social Security is supposed to run out of adequate funding soon (I have no idea when, this is said a lot) or so they say. A lot of older people that hire younger people don’t want to pay them an appropriate wage, but also want their Social Security payments upon retirement/old age. I may misunderstand the system, but if they pay people a good amount, and money is taken from paychecks, wouldn’t they get more money into the social security system?
I don’t know a lot about the Social Security system honestly, but isn’t the amount taken out proportional to the amount of pay? And I understand that younger people may not get any money because there are less of them, and working lower paying jobs. But in general, NOT ALWAYS, companies/bosses seem to look out for themselves. To me it seems like higher wages would fit in with that whole thing. Explain?
