Pacifism

Strongly agree

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

Pacifists may strongly agree with this answer, as it addresses the issue of Social Security funding without raising the retirement age. Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings and stopping the spending of current funds on other programs could help ensure the sustainability of Social Security while maintaining support for vulnerable populations.

Agree

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

Pacifists may agree with this answer because they generally support social welfare programs and are concerned about the well-being of vulnerable populations. Raising the retirement age could disproportionately affect low-income seniors, which goes against the pacifist values of compassion and social justice.

Slightly disagree

Slightly disagree

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

While pacifists may acknowledge that people are living longer, they may still prioritize social welfare programs that benefit vulnerable populations, such as seniors. As such, they may not strongly support raising the retirement age based on this reasoning.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Pacifists may disagree with privatizing Social Security, as they generally support social welfare programs that benefit vulnerable populations. Privatization could lead to reduced benefits and increased inequality, which goes against the pacifist values of compassion and social justice.
