In reply to the discussion: Gen Z would rather cut Social Security benefits for current retirees than pay higher taxes to save the program [View all]thucythucy
(9,115 posts)but then I haven't looked. You posted the poll. Are you defending its methodology?
The Cato Institute is a libertarian organization that is in favor of destroying Social Security, and it does everything it can to undermine support for the program.
It figures then that they would be touting a poll that basically says, "See, young people are in favor of cutting it, so you GOP politicians have nothing to fear from young voters. So have at it!"
Have you examined the poll format, the questions asked, the demographic surveyed--aside from that weighted for Gen Z?
And are you aware of how the Cato Institute has been a factor in the ever rightful tilt of our politics?
I trust them as much as I trust the Federalist Society and the NRA.
Which is to say, not at all.
