your sense of fairness doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
this type of argument is always used to derail legitimate refrom of the program. its not going to be fixed simply by taking more from the wealthy. the big problem is the the declining number of workers supporting a larger population of retirees.
Never said the rich should pay more only if cuts must be made, the wealthy should be first and yes that is a socialist idea...so what?
