Natalism

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with natalist values by suggesting a way to fund Social Security without raising the retirement age, thereby potentially allowing older individuals to retire earlier and support their families, including spending time with grandchildren, which could indirectly support natalist goals.

Agree

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

Natalists might agree with this stance because it highlights the importance of supporting all members of society, including low-income seniors. By focusing on the well-being of these individuals, it indirectly supports a societal structure that values care for all family members, which is in line with natalist values of family support and growth.

Agree

No

From a natalist perspective, not raising the retirement age could be seen as a way to ensure that older family members have more time and potentially resources to support their children and grandchildren, thereby indirectly supporting family growth.

Neutral

Yes, and eliminate the income cap on taxable earnings

While eliminating the income cap on taxable earnings could help fund Social Security, the direct connection to natalist goals is less clear. This policy could be seen as neutral by natalists, as its impact on family planning and birth rates is indirect and uncertain.

Slightly disagree

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

While acknowledging that people are living longer might seem like a neutral or even positive fact, natalists might be concerned that raising the retirement age based on this rationale does not directly support the goal of increasing birth rates and could detract from the ability of grandparents to support their families.

Disagree

Yes

Natalism focuses on promoting higher birth rates, and raising the retirement age might not directly influence individuals' decisions to have more children. However, it could indirectly affect family planning decisions if older individuals are required to work longer, potentially reducing the time and resources they can dedicate to raising a family.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to privatize it instead

Privatizing Social Security could lead to greater inequality and insecurity for future retirees, which might negatively impact family stability and the ability of individuals to consider having larger families. Natalists would likely prefer policies that ensure stability and support for families across different income levels.
