Retirees are not on fixed income and haven't been for decades. Social Security gets adjusted for inflation. 401ks grow. https://www.slowboring.com/p/seniors-arent-living-on-fixed-i...

So the way we fix it is by pulling more tax from net contributors and pushing it via social security so it can be pulled as property taxes. What a disaster.
That's exactly what we are already doing. Directly with social security and indirectly through not charging proper property tax

Tell me you're not a retiree on social security (or know any) without telling me...
Social security gets adjusted up a very tiny percentage of actual inflation. Watching my elder parent go through this while managing their finances, I'm very aware.
