This almost seems too easy...but then money talks, and politicians owned by the wealthy deliberately put on blinders when it comes to Social Security and Medicare.

There are three ways to fix, Social Security and Medicare
One, let more young workers, come to the US, to pay into the system.
Two, increase taxes
Three, cut benefits
You can do more than one.
The rich would like to cut benefits, the low income, would like to tax the rich more, One of the best options is to let more young workers, in the US, as it would be good for the economy too.

I agree, but the point I was trying to make is that having a cap on SS is just another tax break for higher income people. Those of us whose income is less than $168K - those of us who need money more than those with higher incomes are taxed on every penny we've earned. It's no different from higher income people paying a lower tax rate than average workers pay. Trump and the Republicans gave a $1.9 trillion tax break to the rich. The rich walk away smiling while the rest of us are deprived of needed benefits in the form of education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. Those who own the Republican party are much like Trump, grabbing every penny they can get their hands on while society suffers from their greed. If the cap were eliminated, social security would be solvent. It's just that simple.

The rich did not get money, by not liking it more, then lower income people, the rich use all their power to keep, every little bit.
