The private accounts are a fine idea, but this idea of "progressive indexing" is not -- it just makes it even more Socialist Security than what it was before.

I want private accounts, among other reasons, as a stepping-stone to eventual complete privatization of the system, but introducing this means-testing moves away from an eventual privatization of the system.

Can someone help me out here.

Are these truly private accounts, where I can invest the money as I please, or will I be required to invest it in a government run account?

There is already a benefit cap on Social Security which we never hear about. What is the amount of the Social Security benefit cap?
