That's ludicrous. There are several ways to look at it.
Suppose you pay that money into a bank. Both people would have the same principal, wouldn't they?
If you look at the living standard each person receiving the same, it would measure up to 1/100 of the money. Which is fair? could it be both?
You may want to go to that liberal haven of the EU. Everything is "fair" there. You pay heavily into it and you get the same amount of benefit everyone else does. I guess that's fair.

Social Security is just that . . . a socialist program. At least it is for some. If you are fortunate enough to make more than an arbtrary cap then you are above the rest of us forced socialist. Of course the whole program should be scrapped but until it is (which ain't anytime soon) then we ALL should be forced socialists. If I have to run with 12.4 pound weights on my legs, you should too.

There is no cap on Medicare. Remove the cap on FICA!
