You make an excellent point.
Except for the fact that Social Security's completely solvent and has no trouble paying benefits at all for the next twenty years, the standard by which it's always been assessed. And if we'd stop capping income subject to social security taxes at just $113,700, which would make the wealthy start paying as much of their income towards the system as poorer people do, the program will be self-sufficient for everyone alive today.
Other than that, very well said.
