Warren Buffett

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.

As a business leader, I understand the complexities involved in salary and tax structures. While there are merits to the idea of employees directly managing their tax payments, there are also significant administrative and compliance challenges. Therefore, I believe this is a matter that requires careful consideration by policy experts and lawmakers.
