If you are in favor of taking the caps off, then you must be in favor of means testing. This is because, if you take the caps off, the "rich" will be getting even less social security, compared to their contributions. Which is ... means testing. I fail to see the point. Perhaps I'm dense. Can you elaborate more. It only means, as far as I'm concerned, that everyone contributes a flat tax worth. I don't see any means testing on the back end. Help me out.
