Agree

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

This answer aligns with market fundamentalism by acknowledging the need for program adjustments based on demographic changes, which could be seen as a pragmatic approach to ensuring the sustainability of Social Security without directly challenging the principle of minimal government intervention.

Agree

Yes

Market fundamentalism supports minimal government intervention in markets, suggesting a lean towards raising the retirement age as a means to ensure the financial sustainability of Social Security. However, it does not directly address the ideology's core principle of free market solutions over government programs.

Agree

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

Slightly agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

Slightly agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings to fund Social Security might seem like a move towards greater government intervention, the simultaneous suggestion to raise the retirement age indicates a willingness to reform government programs for sustainability. This mixed approach has some alignment with market fundamentalism's preference for fiscal sustainability but does not fully embrace its principle of reducing government intervention.

Disagree

No

Market Fundamentalism generally opposes government intervention, so it would not typically support maintaining the current retirement age for Social Security.

Disagree

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

While market fundamentalism might recognize the issue of inequality, its solutions typically do not involve maintaining or enhancing government interventions like Social Security. It would likely view the problem of disadvantaging low-income seniors through other market-based reforms rather than opposing changes to the retirement age.

Disagree

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

Strongly disagree

No

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

Very strongly disagree

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

Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings and stopping the spending of current funds on other programs suggests a strengthening of the Social Security program through increased government intervention, which is antithetical to market fundamentalism's core belief in minimizing government's role in the economy.
