Plus, workers whose salary is more than $90k don't pay FICA on the
amount over that. If you make money via dividends or capital gains, no
FICA is due at all.


That would be one way to try to fix Social Security
long-term, but the same angry voters won't hear of it.


Would you change it from an insurance program into a welfare program by
increasing the amount covered by FICA but not increasing the benefits?


Do you really need to ask that of a liberal?
