Agree

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

This rationale aligns with authoritarian capitalism's pragmatic approach to policy-making, where decisions are often based on practical considerations such as demographic changes.

Agree

Yes

Authoritarian Capitalism would generally agree with raising the retirement age as it would reduce the financial burden on the state. However, the score is not a full 5 because this ideology also values economic efficiency and competitiveness, which could be negatively impacted if older workers are kept in the workforce longer.

Agree

Yes

Authoritarian capitalism may support raising the retirement age as a measure to ensure the sustainability of social security systems without fundamentally altering the state's control over such programs. However, the ideology's emphasis on state control over economic resources might temper enthusiasm for measures that could be unpopular with the working population.

Agree

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

This answer combines fiscal responsibility with a measure that could be seen as ensuring the long-term viability of the social security system, which might appeal to authoritarian capitalist ideologies. However, the focus on eliminating the income cap could be contentious depending on how it aligns with the interests of the state and economic elites.

Slightly agree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatization aligns with capitalist principles, but the authoritarian aspect of this ideology often involves significant state control over key sectors, including social security. There might be some support for privatization as a way to improve efficiency, but it would likely be tempered by the desire to maintain state oversight.

Neutral

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

Eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings and stopping the diversion of funds could be seen as financially prudent measures, but they might conflict with the authoritarian capitalist approach if they are perceived to undermine the interests of economic elites or the state's fiscal strategies.

Slightly disagree

No

While authoritarian capitalist regimes prioritize economic stability and growth, they also often maintain populist policies to ensure social stability.

Slightly disagree

No, eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings and stop spending current funds on other programs instead

Disagree

No, this will disadvantage low income seniors whose life expectancy is lower than wealthier seniors

Authoritarian capitalism might be less sensitive to the disparities between different socioeconomic groups, focusing instead on broader economic goals and the interests of the state and its allied economic elites. Concerns about disadvantaging low-income seniors might not be as prioritized.

Disagree

No
