    As referenced in an earlier article, in 2017, Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced not-going-anywhere legislation to tax wages and investment income above $250,000 and direct the proceeds to Social Security to extend solvency and boost benefits. Now, as of last week Monday, Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced legislation, the "Social Security 2100 Act," the text of which appears to be modeled off earlier legislation which applies Social Security taxes to income over $400,000 (with no apparent inflation adjustment) with trivial benefit accruals. (The proposal also includes other changes including setting a minimum benefit at 125% of the single individual poverty line, that is, $18,825, for a 30-year working lifetime with average-wage increases afterwards, increasing employer and employee contributions by 1.2 percentage points in a graded fashion, and merging the Old Age and Disability Trust Funds into a single Trust Fund.)

    We tax people like we tax them for Medicare now, however employers and employees would no longer pay for private insurance, a wash.

    How much do you pay for insurance now?

    SS taxes are only charged for income up to about 125k. charging up to unlimited would solve all issues.

    do you not understand that??

    I'll help you learn.

    What is the maximum Social Security contribution for 2018?
    $128,400

    For 2018, the maximum amount of Social Security taxes you'll have to pay as an employee is $7,960.80. To understand where this number comes from, it's important to understand how Social Security taxes work. Social Security taxes are assessed on all wages earned, up to a capped maximum. In 2018, the cap is $128,400.Dec 10, 2017

    Read what I am pasting.

    Now, here's where things get interesting. If the cap were removed completely and, like Medicare, all earned income were exposed to program taxation, then it would almost certainly erase the $13.2 trillion cash shortfall Social Security is facing between 2034 and 2092. The reason the cap hasn't been increased substantially to ensure that less income escapes taxation has to do with the aforementioned cap on monthly payouts at full retirement age, as well as the inability of Republicans and Democrats to agree on an amicable solution to the program's cash shortfall.

    In other words, even though the cap is rising, more income than ever is likely to escape Social Security's payroll tax.

    You made a claim that SS is not sustainable. I proved you wrong. You have ignored all evidence.

    Now, here's where things get interesting. If the cap were removed completely and, like Medicare, all earned income were exposed to program taxation, then it would almost certainly erase the $13.2 trillion cash shortfall Social Security is facing between 2034 and 2092.

    So if you're committed to steal from people through more taxation that was supposed to be for a fund that they would pay into they would get receipt from then you can find it.

    So a Robin Hood the government which makes no sense because Robin Hood was stealing from the government who was stealing from the people to enrich itself.

    That's a stupid idea.

    Just to remind you. You do not understand how we can fund SS.

    If the cap were removed completely and, like Medicare, all earned income were exposed to program taxation, then it would almost certainly erase the $13.2 trillion cash shortfall Social Security is facing between 2034 and 2092.
