Hah, yeah. Honestly, fuck it, yeah, take the cap off. I’m still getting fucked, but at least the generation before me and my less fortunate peers would be less fucked.
And maybe my idea was wrong-headed… if they took the cap off, and I ended up paying more as I got paid more, it would still be better because at leat it would be around when I was old.
I don’t remember the payouts being super awesome though. Ugh, I don’t know. I think I’m fucked either way.
The cap is $168,600.

Class is what we’ve all in common.
