The best thing they can do for it is raise the ceiling for contribution limits from around 95k or what ever that is, up to 110k.

It's the law. I guess if you never make enough money to reach it you really could not give a shit about anyone who does pay into it.

Class warfare? Give me a friggin' break. IF they are going to tax people's income for SS, they should tax the WHOLE income.

And everyone should get taxed the same regardless of how much or little you make. When the minority of income earners pay income taxes there is a huge problem.

Why? If the rate is currently 36% & going up to 39% how is a flat tax of 15% an increase?
