I'm not sure I phrased it correctly, I was saying that it's insane that checks get larger for the wealthy. I don't like it either. I fully agree with your point that the cap should be removed.

It's actually insane how little payroll deductions hit when you're at the 401k and social security max for the year. It's normal to see 1-2k more per check. Everyone benefits directly or indirectly from social security and we should all pay into it.

I love it. I made an account just to say this, I've been lurking on lemmy for a couple weeks. Thank you very much Ryan and ruud.
