But social security isn't supposed to be a retirement plan. There'snot supposed to be a "return" on individualinvestment. It's meant to be a social safety net. Therefore it's fine for rich people to get less out of it.
It's also why the retirement age when it was instituted was 2 years above the average American lifespan. It was only meant to cover retirees who had lived longer than expected that they didn't want dying in the street.
But our lifespans got longer, so the number of people collecting social security as a retirement plan skyrocketed.
And the solution for the time being is simple: remove the $184,000 cap.
