If you are going to raise the maz, might as well raise it to infinity. Why save warren but tax jimmy? As far as the rate goes, that would need to be lowered not raised. For a liberal you are dumping on your constituency with your proposal. What are you, a neocon?

people making 250k will never see any of the SS money. It's robbery. Generally, up to half of your benefits will be taxed if you exceed the base amounts. However, up to 85 percent of your benefits could be taxed if you are a single filer and the total of all your other income plus half of your Social Security checks exceeds $34,000, or $44,000 if you are married and file jointly. it punishes people who save. That's plain wrong. and they punish married people.
