Why doesn't anyone ever mention that the reason earnings in excess of $160,000 are not subject to payroll taxes is because no Social Security benefits are paid on earnings in excess of $160,000?

I'm sure people making that kind of money are really gonna need the SS benefits in retirement. Meanwhile, frick everyone else, they can work with their hands until they're 80 and their skin is worn off. Also, what's up with this bullshit that children can't work?! #LetThemToil
Here's a bonus centrist take that generated some sneeding: https://x.com/professorplum_/status/1628782120171884544?s=20
Feels like we need to raise or eliminate the cap but also raise the retirement age as Americans live for far longer than when the system was created

Aren't these the same dopes that say we shouldn't be working over half our lives?
Also here is my hot take. I think you should be exempt from paying SS if you have an active 401k account you're putting into each year.
