Yes, the wealthy must pay their fair share to keep the system solvent

Agree

Yes, but strictly lockbox the revenue so politicians cannot raid it for other spending

While Democrats support the tax increase, the 'lockbox' terminology is slightly dated and implies current administrative practices are 'raiding' the fund, which is a characterization many Democrats dispute.

Very strongly disagree

No

Very strongly disagree

No, we should raise the retirement age or means-test benefits instead

The Democratic Party platform explicitly opposes raising the retirement age and generally resists means-testing that could undermine the program's status as a universal social insurance benefit.

Very strongly disagree

No, this is a massive tax hike that punishes success and stifles economic growth

The Democratic Party rejects the argument that progressive taxation on high earners stifles growth, prioritizing social safety net stability over tax cuts for the wealthy.
