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.
