No one who uses a W-2 should be taxed one iota more. We’re already over 33% you need to be more specific exactly who you’re taxing.

If you scrap the cap will you also scrap the limit on the maximum benefit?

What would you think of creating the donut hole instead of scrap the cap? The cap is currently $184,500. Seems like there a lot of people making above that who are still spending most of what they make which helps our economy. If you would still stop at $184k and then maybe start the payroll tax again at like $400 or 500k, you would allow the people below that level to keep spending and helping the economy. The concept is that people above the $400K have a lot more going into investments and taking that would not hurt the economy as much. At least this is the theory of those that promote the “donut”. Thoughts?

Isn’t the benefit capped? Is the cap on payments into social security relative to the cap on benefits? Or is there a disconnect?

You are so correct. Washington is so broke, that they don’t understand simple solutions. They are the stupid ones, not you.

Speaking as someone whose salary exceeds the cap I am totally on board.

I would want lots of controls over a sovereign wealth fund to keep politicians hands off it. Also it should have 50% in A rated bonds. Insurance companies invest 75% in bonds so a target of 50 seems safe.

The reform is fine, the rhyming is cool. As Rick Sanchez put it: Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer. Don’t let morons get you down. Your solution is a great bipartisan compromise and hopefully some politicians recognize that and run with it.

I have been preaching the gospel of scrap the cap for years and years. and I say that as someone who, during the last 10 years of his working life, exceeded the cap every year. It just makes sense and it's fair.

eliminate the cap on social security contributions and tax stocks as property then allow students to write off their student loans.
