Remove the cap on taxable wages for Social Security. Apply the 6.2% rate to ALL wages (capped at $110,100 in 2012).

Created by M.P. on December 21, 2012

Currently, only the first $110,100 of income is considered taxable for the 6.2% social security tax. In a time when the country is struggling to find alternative sources of revenue, while reducing or flattening expenses, removing this cap seems like a quick, easy, and relatively painless change that will only be felt at the highest income levels.
