  1. The don't get a 100% pass on it. They pay SS taxes on the first $168,600 they earn (or are paid for, at least 😀). True, once they reach that cap, they don't pay any more, but they won't draw benefits based on more than that cap, either. The benefits calculations would have to change, but that's not a bad thing. Currently if you put $80/year in over 35 years, you have to take benefits from 65-90 to get it all back.

  2.  @Starbeoghtuser3475  The wealthy pay the same SS taxes you do on the first $168,600 they earn. And their benefits are paid out based on that cap. If you let them pay SS taxes on $1 million a year, what's that going to do when they want to start receiving benefits? I mean, if they pay it in, they want it back just like you do?
