I implore the president to make dividends and interest equally taxable as labor is. Specifically, FICA taxes should be charged to these types of income. The top "earners" receive the greatest part of their income through dividends and interest, thus shielding them unfairly from social security taxes. People who earn their living from work, as opposed to capital, to generate their income, are subject to FICA taxes to a greater degree than are those who earn millions just by moving their capital around.
