They won't. They will raise the exempt number upwards and will raise the eligibility age.

Nah. They'll means test it first. Democrats have been dreaming of that for decades. More money to buy votes. They can tell the moochers "Look, we're taking from those greedy 'rich' people to help you".

And... it's a backdoor way to tax 401Ks. Raising taxes specifically on 401Ks is not politically pallatable. So instead they'll just cut your SS benefits if you have a fat 401K.
