Inequality undermining Social Security
The upward redistribution of income in the U.S. is undermining the nation’s Social Security:

That’s because the Federal payroll tax cap is set at $127,000, so any money made beyond this point, is not subject to taxation that would fund this very crucial Federal social program.
