Folks are getting petition-crazy these days and I'm no different. But I don't want to secede from America or start a war with anyone. All I want to do save Social Security and give Rich-Folks yet another way to stay rich. What wrong with that? So here's my plan. Let me know what you think..
Allow citizens to trade future Social Security Benefits to lower their yearly taxable income. This would spur the economy by letting people keep more of their money now, and increase Soc. Sec. coffers for citizens who will truly need them in the future. This should prove very popular to high-income individuals who would enjoy the large tax break more than the negligible (for them) retirement income of Soc. Security.
Benefit reduction could be structured incrementally (say, for example, $500 a year) or cumulatively by pushing the date you'd start receiving full benefits later.
Details would need to be worked out and there should probably be some sort of limits and caps set but the overall benefits to the Economy and Soc. Sec. Would be undeniable.

What a Rich Person Needs More Than A Social Security Check.
The rich and powerful hate Social Security, but I don't see them tearing up their SS checks (which they definitely don't NEED) when they retire! A SMART solution to SS would take into account how wealthy you are when you retire. If you've got 1 million $ in the bank at retirement you don't get a SS check from the government. INSTEAD of a check you get a debit card for whatever the equivalent amount would be that exempts you from paying a sales tax on ANYTHING YOU BUY! This should save Social Security because only the people who really need it will be getting a check and the wealthy retirees (congratulations, The American Dream worked out for you) will see their buying power increase due to not having to pay a sales tax on their cars, boats etc.( And what rich person would skip a chance NOT to pay a tax?) Let me know what you think of this plan and pass it on!
