Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
I wonder if the op bothered to consider that as SS receipts increase, their obligations rise accordingly......

We've often heard the concern that raising the minimum wage might cause inflation.
And the same people who say that would really love to deport the lowest cost, readily available, hardest working, work force our economy has, the undocumented immigrants.
And they think that might not also cause inflation?

Hello Flash,
A good point.
We must remember that the standard of living was lower then. Many American homes did not even have electricity or running water. Telephones and TV were not common.
The standard of living has been raised significantly, and that means the relative amount of income required to afford the current standard is also raised. Since living got more sophisticated, the living wage to maintain that standard has been pushed up accordingly.
Do we, the well off, wish to extend the advances of the last 90 years to they, the disadvantaged?
Or do we let them live in the 1930's as we all enjoy the 2020's...
