>>> Obama's proposal removes the cap on FICA taxes.

I can support increasing the FICA cap if the funds go solely to SSA. But I'm not sure we can be guaranteed of this. Also, it needs to be part of an overall solvency/actuarial plan for SS, which obviously hasn't been established by his campaign.

It is a great talking point for Obama that the gullible liberals will eat up but as usual, the devil is in the details.
