A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

There is a cap on social security tax so after you earn past the cap you don't pay anything extra.

Elon Musk pays the same amount as a person who makes 190k a year.

Take away the cap and social security would be funded forever and a day.

I learned a lot about this by watching Sam Seder talk about SS. It is one of his hot topics.
