Let's see, you want people making more money than you and who already pay the most in taxes to pay more so that your tax rate is subsidized, yet you do not want to help others...got it...

SS could easily be made solvent, if it really weren't. Just take off the 90k cap. If that's not enough, apply SS to unearned capital gains, which should be taxed the same or even higher than EARNED income in any case.

MY most hated tax is my property tax, that goes toward putting OTHER PEOPLES little nosepickers through school. It's just UNFAIR! If they want to have nosepickers, they should pay, not me!

So if you take off the 90K cap,
would people earning over 90K earn an increased benefit,
or would their benefit be capped too?

If their benefit is capped too, then you are advocating
turning SS into a welfare program.
