Political Factoid

Social Security benefits
for higher-paid workers
should be reduced (actuarially).
"Wealthier socioeconomic groups
recently show more longevity
improvements than poorer
socioeconomic groups."

In other words, the life expectancy for
higher-paid people is increasing faster
than it is for the average person.  Thus,
higher-paid people will receive Social
Security benefits longer than the average
person.
