there is not enough bargaining going on as it is.
They could raise the max contribution into SS for higher incomes instead of the cap that they currently have.
A means test for SS is also ok. I know some well heeled that can write a check for their yearly amount and it isn't a blip on their radar. Now they have millions in savings but they get a SS check when they retire. I personally would be too proud to get a SS check if I had millions and I know some very wealthy that are the same way. But then I have seem some cheap rich ba$*!%&s that collected it even though they couldn't ever spend the money they had. And then they give it to their trust fund babies.
A progressive tax is to level the field a bit. It helps the poor but is not so difficult on the wealthy.
That money is to prevent the retired elderly from destitution and insure social stability.
