Social Security provides income to retired, unemployed, and disabled workers. Benefits are based on how long a worker was employed. The comments below are from a discussion
between two speakers with different perspectives on the future of Social Security.
Speaker A:
Social Security is now facing a real problem. Soon the system will be paying more in benefits
to retirees than it is collecting from payroll taxes. If we don't fix this situation, the system will
soon have nothing left. The best solution is to stop paying benefits to retirees with high
incomes.
Speaker B:
What you propose is unfair. Workers pay into Social Security their whole working lives. After
they retire, they are entitled to receive benefits based on what they have paid into the system.
Even if they have high incomes, they are entitled to benefits from their own payments.
