Strongly agree

No

Communitarians might argue against raising the retirement age as it could negatively impact the social fabric by disadvantaging older members of the community, who may not be physically or mentally able to continue working. They would likely advocate for policies that protect the most vulnerable.

Agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings could be seen as a move towards greater equity, the suggestion to raise the retirement age might still be problematic from a communitarian perspective due to concerns about the impact on older workers.

Disagree

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

While recognizing that people are living longer might seem like a rational argument for raising the retirement age, communitarians would likely be concerned about the broader social implications, such as the impact on older workers' health and well-being.

Disagree

Yes

Communitarianism emphasizes the importance of community and collective well-being over individual interests.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatization of social security would likely be opposed by communitarians, as it shifts responsibility from the community and state to the individual, potentially leading to greater inequality and undermining social solidarity.
