You really think they differentiate? You think the rich think it anything but redistribution their wealth to the middle?

We have this perception now.

Listen, I know there is no way we will ever get a means test or an end to the cap but it is the right thing to do. What is the name of the program? Social Security. The rich have security brought to them through birth and chance.
It's the wrong thing to do. How would you lie having a means test applied to you where the government said that your income from other sources was too high so too bad for you! You're going to get reduced benefits or no benefits at all? Not only is this morally wrong but it's unnecessary. The health of SS can be maintained without imposing a means test.
