This proposal fixes Social Security and Medicare by removing the income cap currently in place on payroll tax. Individual earned income is subject to payroll tax up to the first $110,000.00 leaving all income in excess of that amount free of tax. This makes the payroll tax a regressive tax that unfairly burdens those individuals who earn less than $110,000.00. Removing the cap will enhance revenues for these programs and ensure their long-term solvency. Additionally, we propose keeping the cap in place for businesses and having it affect individual earned income only.
