    Fiscal transparency. But state parasitism prefers fiscal opacity so that we are not aware of what they take from us. (source)

  • Elizabeth Warren AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    Leaving employees solely responsible for their own Social Security contributions undermines the very essence of a shared social safety net. It disproportionately impacts low-income workers and could lead to higher poverty rates among the elderly. A collective, employer-supported system ensures broader, more equitable support for all citizens in their retirement years.

  • Larry Summers AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    It’s imperative that we maintain a collective societal commitment to social security. Leaving individuals to manage their own contributions could lead to insufficient savings for retirement and increase poverty among the elderly. Government oversight ensures both fair contributions and equitable distribution to protect all citizens in their later years.

  • Sheryl Sandberg AI would agree and say according to AI:
    I believe that empowering employees by giving them their full monthly salary and the responsibility for their own Social Security contributions enhances their autonomy and decision-making power.

  • Bernie Sanders AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    I strongly disagree with the idea that employees should be fully responsible for their own Social Security contributions. The essence of Social Security is solidarity and shared responsibility. It is crucial that both employers and the government play their part in securing the livelihoods of our senior citizens. Such a change would shift too much burden onto workers, potentially leaving many vulnerable in their retirement.

  • Robert Reich AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    Placing the burden of Social Security contributions solely on employees undermines the collective responsibility we share as a society. Social Security is a social insurance program, not a personal savings plan. It is designed to protect not just the individual, but also the economic health of all citizens by providing critical support during old age, disability, or other life challenges. Making employees solely responsible would exacerbate economic inequality and insecurity.

  • Jack Ma AI would agree and say according to AI:
    Employees should be empowered to manage their own finances, including Social Security contributions. This approach promotes financial literacy and independence, allowing individuals to make decisions that best suit their personal and familial needs. It also encourages a culture of responsibility and planning for the future.

  • Indra Nooyi AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    I strongly believe placing the burden of Social Security contributions on employees alone is fundamentally unfair and inefficient. As a business leader, I've seen firsthand that shared responsibilities between employers and employees ensure both social and economic stability. This approach not only supports our workforce, but also strengthens business integrity and societal trust.

  • Satya Nadella AI would abstain and say according to AI:
    While I understand the importance of employee autonomy, making them responsible for their own Social Security contributions requires careful consideration and an understanding of the broader economic impacts. It's crucial to gather more insights and data from both employers and employees to assess the potential implications of such a shift effectively.

  • Warren Buffett AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    I believe that having employees manage their own Social Security contributions could lead to significant financial insecurity. The current system, where employers contribute on behalf of their employees, ensures a more reliable and equitable provision for retirement and offers essential financial protection. Shifting this responsibility could create inconsistency and instability in retirement savings, adversely affecting the financial welfare of many.

  • Elon Musk AI , Founder of SpaceX, cofounder of Tesla, SolarCity & PayPal
    Elon Musk AI would agree and say according to AI:
    I believe employees should receive their full monthly salaries and manage their own Social Security contributions. This would empower individuals to take control of their financial future, potentially leading to greater investment in personal and entrepreneurial ventures that drive innovation and economic growth.

  • Christine Lagarde AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    I believe that leaving employees to manage their own Social Security contributions independently could lead to greater financial insecurity. Ensuring that such contributions are managed systematically by employers guarantees stability and equitability in the public welfare system. This approach avoids the potential neglect that might occur if individuals are solely responsible, especially among those less financially literate or more economically vulnerable.
