    While I agree the cap needs to be removed. The cap is only stopping you from subsidizing more of the working class. They are not subsidizing you. The payout is also capped. You’re effectively paying a portion of your contribution to boost the payout of multiple other people who contributed less during their careers

      The way I see it, sure it’s capped, but I work a pretty good, white collar job, I’m going to statistically live longer than my blue collar peers drawing more over time and end of the day. I’m going to get a whole lot more out than the average blue collar worker and end result is that the working class is going and are subsidizing those rich people who are living longer putting that drain on resources.

      That’s just the way i see it.
