They will raise the age at which people can collect SS and they will raise taxes.
This has already happened several times .
When the retirement age is high enough that only a few of us can hope to retire the problem will be solved , but don't call that success.
Taxes can be raised until this is no longer a wealthy country , this would cause a crash before it was complete.
People make it in this country DESPITE the Oligarchy, not because of it.
You know that the opposite has been tried.
For years China had an "Iron Rice Bowl" so that everyone had practically a right to eat.
And no wealthy at all.
This worked very poorly , even without wealth there was a ruling class , and even with a national right to eat there were gigantic famines.
Since it became legal to become wealthy the Chinese economy has done a lot better , but their politically powerful are the same class.
I get the impression that you consider wealth a drag on the economy , while it seems to me that wealth is the engine .
Since both styles of running things has been tried , the truth should not be so hard to derive from the evidence.
