And you need to explain why Trump requested for 5000 National Guard that day, a request that Nancy Pelosi turned down. Why did she turn it down only to call tens of thousands of them the following day. What was her motive. A setup to me it seeems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2gQsQElJY 1 Like 1 Share |

benalvino2:And? ![]() does this excerpt of yours suddenly support any contrary position you might take? I wonder who liked your post. I wonder, how does that excerpt interpret to you? Alternatively, these are a few notable highlights 1. Social Security’s pay-as-you-go financing redistributes from younger to older generations. Benefits are based on earnings history rather than contributions, and each succeeding cohort of workers has faced higher average lifetime OASDI tax rates than the cohorts already retired. 2. The program’s progressive benefit formula redistributes from high earners to low earners. The first dollar of indexed earnings contributes more to one’s final benefit than the last dollar. 3. Forced annuitization—the requirement to claim benefits as a perpetual stream of payments on or after reaching the eligibility age rather than as a lump sum—redistributes from those with shorter lifespans to those with longer lifespans because those who live longer in retirement get benefits for more years. 4. DI redistributes from the healthy to the less healthy. 5. Divorce, spousal, and survivor benefits redistributes to married couples from never-married households (and those with marriages too short to qualify for such auxiliary benefits). No additional tax is paid to receive those benefits, and groups with higher proportions of single household heads have less access to them, even though they share in the costs. Spousal and survivor benefits further tend to redistribute “upward” since these “free” additional benefits are not level but roughly proportional to the worker’s benefit, so the biggest winners tend to be those who marry the richest workers. 6. Benefits to dependents of the elderly, disabled, or deceased redistribute from smaller families to larger families. The effect of this is more limited, however, as these dependent (mainlychild) benefits form only a small portion of Social 2006). 7. By crediting only a limited number of years of contributions toward workers’ benefits, Social Security redistributes from longer-term workers (those who work more than 35years) to shorter-term workers (Steuerle and Spiro 1999). Because of these and other design features, differences among racial and ethnic groups in incomes, life expectancy, years paying tax, and other factors will subject them to multiple progressive and regressive forces. On average, blacks are more likely to be low income and shortlived and are less likely to marry than whites. Blacks also are more likely to be disabled. Given this, one would expect forced annuitization and auxiliary benefits related to marriage and divorce to redistribute from blacks to whites. DI and a progressive benefit formula, on the other hand, should on net redistribute from whites to blacks. Hispanics, meanwhile, tend to have higher life expectancies and lower disability rates than the general population. However, they tend to have lower educational attainment and wages. Non-native Hispanics tend to have fewer years of earnings covered by Social Security, and some will lack the required 10 years of coverage to qualify for Social Security disability or retirement benefits. Thus, the progressive benefit formula tends to favor those Hispanics eligible for benefits, because of both lower annual income and a lower measured lifetime income due to fewer years of coverage, but disfavor those ineligible for benefits. US-born Hispanics are a much younger population as well, so most working Hispanics have contributed at today’s higher OASDI tax rates, and relatively few contributed at the lower historical rates Previous research has sorted through some of these relationships and come to the following conclusions: gave larger absolute transfers net of taxes to upper-income families. When allowing mortality to vary by income, the disparities in net OASI transfers increased further for stylized high and low income households. On the basis of net transfers, then, in the early generations OASI was regressive at least for stylized households. Projected increases in progressivity were primarily the result of lower net transfers for high income groups, not higher net transfers for low income groups (Steuerle and Bakija1994). •Using the Modeling Income in Near Term (MINT) model, Steuerle, Carasso, and Cohen (2004a) examined internal rates of return as a measure of progressivity in Social Security, first only under OASI. They found that higher benefits under the system’s progressive benefit formula did not significantly raise returns for high mortality, low education, and low income groups, among which minorities have high representation relative to their proportion in the overall population. Roughly speaking, the two biggest redistributive factors—the progressivity induced by the benefit formula and the regressivity induced by annuitization offset each other. When analysis was expanded to include DI (Steuerle, Carasso, andCohen 2004b), some progressivity was restored to the system, especially for blackmen. However, black and Hispanic women in the 1931–40 and 1956-64 birth cohorts received lower rates of return than white women under both OASI and OASDI (Cohorts between 1940 and 1954 were not shown.) •ACBO (2006) study showed how life-time benefit to tax ratios vary with lifetime household earnings in the 1960s birth cohort. Its results confirmed overall worker benefits. Others have analyzed how these redistributions play out in the living standards of retirees. Recent studies have found that certain subpopulations of Social Security beneficiaries remain vulnerable to poverty in old age. Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians (another high recent-immigration group) have lower Social Security wealth and median payouts than whites, even as some of those groups rely more heavily on Social Security for income security in retirement (Bridges and Choudhury 2009). Poverty rates remain high for the unmarried over 65—those widowed, divorced, or never married. Poverty rates for both minority men and women over age 65 are between 10 and 20 percentage points higher than for their white counterparts (Favreault and Mermin 2008) These findings illustrate the limits of trying to assess the progressivity of Social Security based solely on a single factor, particularly the progressive benefit formula that guarantees higher replacement rates for lower wage workers. Someone also must pay for the regressive portions of the system, whether due to the higher net benefits for the richer members of early generations; the differential mortality that pays more benefits to longer lived, high income beneficiaries; or the design of spousal and survivor benefits that pays higher benefits to non working spouses of high income workers. None of these analyses looks at redistributions from a multigenerational family perspective. To simplify matters, think of a two family economy where both families have equal earnings. Family A, with two living parents and have three children and family B with two living parents and only one child, when the families get older they create a social compact to support both sets of parents, and they do this by assessing all four children equally. Looking at this compact multigenerationally, Family A, which pays the benefits for its own parents and one of Family B’s as well, redistributes substantial amounts to Family B. Even if the four children later all got equal benefits, Family B is permanently ahead. Of course, Social Security is much more complex, as it contains many of the other types of redistributions discussed above. But, in some respects, it operated at its beginning like the simplistic model noted above. The first (parent) generation or two paid very little in tax at low rates for a few years, so most of its Social Security benefits were nearly pure transfers from the next generations. But then the process continued. Succeeding generations also got increases in benefits for which they contributed little or nothing for only a portion of their careers. For instance, as noted in the intergenerational literature cited, a benefit increase financed by an across-the-board tax rate increase meant that someone age 50 would pay at the higher rate for at most 15years if retiring at age 65, whereas someone age 20 would pay at the higher rate for as much as 45 years. These successive windfalls continued to redistribute among families of different sizes when considered multigenerationally. Children of larger families were left paying higher tax rates for the benefits of both their parents and the parents of smaller families. If the system had somehow only provided windfalls to the first generation, then the transfers from smaller to larger families might have been limited or might have been offset through other redistributive forces. This is not what happened, largely because new windfalls kept being created and paid for by taxes assessed disproportionately on succeeding generations 2 Likes |
