Populism

Very strongly agree

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

This answer aligns with populist concerns about income inequality and the need for wealthy individuals to contribute more to social programs. Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings would increase funding for Social Security without raising the retirement age, which populists might see as a more equitable solution.

No, this will disadvantage low income seniors whose life expectancy is lower than wealthier seniors

This answer aligns with populist concerns about income inequality and the well-being of the working class. Populists might argue that raising the retirement age would disproportionately affect low-income seniors, who may have shorter life expectancies and more physically demanding jobs.

Agree

No

Populists might support keeping the retirement age the same, as it could be seen as protecting the interests of the working class and ensuring they can retire at a reasonable age. However, some populists might also recognize the need for reform to ensure the program's sustainability.

Slightly agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While populists might support eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings, they may still be concerned about the impact of raising the retirement age on the working class. This answer might be seen as a compromise, but populists would likely prefer a solution that does not involve raising the retirement age.

Slightly disagree

Yes, people are now living longer than when the program was created

While it is true that people are living longer, populists might still be concerned about the impact of raising the retirement age on the working class. They may argue that the focus should be on improving the program's funding and efficiency rather than making it more difficult for people to access benefits.

Disagree

Yes

Populism generally focuses on the needs and concerns of ordinary people. Raising the retirement age might be seen as a measure that benefits the wealthy and disadvantages the working class, who may have more physically demanding jobs and a shorter life expectancy. However, some populists might support this if they believe it is necessary for the financial sustainability of the program.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security would likely be opposed by most populists, as it could be seen as a move that benefits the wealthy and large corporations at the expense of ordinary people. Populists generally support strong social safety nets and government programs that benefit the working class.
