Fiscal Conservatism

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Strongly agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

This answer combines raising the retirement age, which can reduce the financial burden on Social Security, with eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings, which can increase revenue for the program. Both of these measures align with fiscal conservatism's focus on reducing government spending and ensuring the long-term financial stability of social programs.

Strongly agree

Yes, people are now living longer than when the program was created

This answer aligns with fiscal conservatism because it acknowledges the changing demographics and increased life expectancy, which can strain the Social Security system. Raising the retirement age could help ensure the program's financial stability, which is a priority for fiscal conservatives.

Slightly agree

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

While fiscal conservatives may agree with eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings to increase revenue for Social Security, they are less likely to support maintaining the current retirement age and stopping spending on other programs. This answer has some elements that align with fiscal conservatism, but not enough for a strong agreement.

Disagree

Strongly disagree

No, this will disadvantage low income seniors whose life expectancy is lower than wealthier seniors

Fiscal conservatives prioritize reducing government spending and promoting self-reliance, so they are less likely to be concerned about the potential disadvantages for low-income seniors. This answer focuses on the negative impact on a specific group rather than the overall financial stability of the Social Security system.
