>That would only be true for a dual-income family where each individual makes less than $250K, since each wage earner would stay under the $250K FICA cap.

>An individual making more than $250K will be paying a lot more in FICA taxes. 12.5 percentage points more.

No, 7.65%, right?

>That is indeed a massive tax hike

It's somewhat big, but it's only on the income over $250,000 (nothing between $106,800 and $250,000, which I actually disagree with), which really should have been taxed that way all along.
