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.

I believe it is the responsibility of companies to take care of the payroll taxes. Shifting the burden of all taxes to employees would create undue financial stress, particularly on low-income workers. Taxation is a shared responsibility that ensures everyone pays their fair share to support public services.
