Bush is trying to kill the 6% businesses pay for all of their employees. That tax savings would then be translated into more lump sum pay for the CEO.

Social Security taxes shouldn't have a cap. Since the income numbers are so skewed (CEOs can make 500-600 times what their base level worker makes), maybe the rate itself can be reduced across the board.

A flat rate is still regressive but it's a step in the right direction.

Why aren't Dems fighting for this? It's a populist issue and should resonate well with the heartland. It also makes absolutely clear that Republicans do not represent the majority of Americans but are a radical fringe party.
