Raise the Social Security cap, not the retirement age

Crockett rejects raising Social Security’s retirement age and instead supports raising the cap on Social Security so everyone pays their fair share. She says people who have worked and paid into the program are counting on this earned benefit, and argues that fully financing Social Security is necessary to keep it solvent for future generations. She does not specify the cap amount or how it would change.
