re: the real problem is that Social Security receipients are getting more in benefits than they put into the system.

That all depends. If I die at 61 and 364 days, I don't get a penny, and I put in since I was 15 years old. If a child loses it's father to an accident, they start collecting immediately, even though they haven't put in a dime. I pay taxes for roads that I never drive on. I pay taxes to support a war I don't believe in. I pay taxes for schools, and I don't have kids. It's called society.

re: One problem I have with raising the FICA cap is that it's still a regressive tax. If we're going to fund the system from those with the means, then let's eliminate the FICA cap.

Tax the rich? Are you being sarcastic or did the doc change your prescription?
